Adjustable height.  Ordered the bronze finish. It's a nice deep brown tone.  Lamp base is sturdy.  Comes in sections that you screw together.  Bulb not included.  Recommend getting a lower wattage  oblong shaped bulb. Traditional round bulbs stick out below the edge of the shade.  There's also a reflective shield inside, making higher watt bulbs too bright, especially if you're going to put this near you to use as a  reading lamp.
