This is such a cool looking floor lamp.  It reminds me of life near the water.  I bought this lamp because it invokes feelings of joy and peace.  True statement.  I love this lamp, not only for what it brings to the room in terms of looks, but for how it makes me feel when I look at it.  Our home furnishings should bring a smile to our face.  This Floor Lamp does that for me.  Assembly was a breeze. Love that!
