The picture of the lamp is very attractive and it looks good from far away, but the manufacturing quality is very poor. There are significant uneven gaps between the metal bushings and the wood pieces in the center pole. Also, there is a big scratch in the stainless that follows the cutting circles of the base. Finally, the whole piece leans slightly. For $130, go on Craigslist and find something that is real-deal vintage piece manufactured in the States. This piece is a poorly manufactured Chinese knock-off.
