Gorgeous looking floor lamp! I am very impressed and pleased with how great it looks. I didn't notice from the picture originally but the base is a very heavy and great looking marble stone. For the price, the manufacturer could have gone with a cheap metal base and it would still be a deal. The pole extends and contracts so you can really adjust it for the exact look you want. I adjusted it so that the lamp shade was high enough that I would bump into it every time I walked pass. The shade itself has a swivel to where it attaches to the pole. This again gives nice flexibility for adjusting the lamp. The foot switch is a nice plus and functions perfectly. Overall, this one is a score!
