I debated giving 3 or 4 stars because it's pretty nice but not necessarily what I wanted or expected. This was much bigger than I expected (everything-base, pole, lights), which was partly inattention on my part because it does say it's eighty-eight inches. The base is so heavy that I couldn't lift it by myself so had to wait for a friend to help me assemble and put up. The light is also odd because it doesn't radiate but is more like a spot light, or 5 spotlights that is, so it's not very practical (especially for my office setting). We had to move it 3 times to get it in a spot that didn't look awkward or overpowering physically. However, I like it where it is now. I rotated the light covers so they are facing up to ceiling and it gives a soft glow to a corner where I plan to do yoga/relaxation.  Given the price, I might have returned it if I hadn't thrown out the box and if I could lift it to bring to post office.
