I've had this about a year. It is a good deal for the price- attractive, gives good light, and I like the foot button. It's a little smaller than I anticipated so it doesn't have a very dramatic arch, but that's ok. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because the top and bottom pieces have the tendency to come apart when I'm trying to move the lamp. Be careful when moving it and you should be fine.
