Very nice lamp chosen by my daughter. She loves it. Very easy to assemble. The lamp itself is solid and stable on its base but the lamp shade feels very delicate. Get a slightly higher bulb as the shade will soften light considerably. I also like this lamp has a slightly longer plug in cord than some of the others I've bought at All Modern so it is easier to place in room. Skinny profile is also a plus in small/cluttered/messy rooms like my daughter's...
