I'm disappointed in these lamps. They do look like the picture but when I extend the arm on one of the lamps, the lamp sags like it is not tightened in the elbow. I can probably tinker with this and get it to sit straight but that's not what I paid for. However, the bases on the two lamps are very heavy and the lamps are secure when arm is extended...well for one of them at least. Until I figure out a way to tighten the elbow so that the lamp does not look drunk, it will sit on my table as a reg. lamp.
