Purchased this for grandson's apartment; he likes the look. The lamp "screws" together in 4 separate places, so it may require a few adjustments to prevent it from looking like it is "leaning" instead of perfectly straight.  Biggest disappointment is that the ability to adjust each lamp is limited.  The go side to side and up but do not have an unlimited position adjustment.  We used 40 watt equiv bulbs and it is very bright - that part was great for his apartment.  I guess not a bad lamp for $38.
