It looks nice, but the shade is made of cheap, thin plastic which is a bit distorted. The base is of stamped/shaped metal covering a weight of concrete in a plastic mold. In my experience, the plastic mold and the concrete will deteriorate and crumble, rendering the lamp useless. Yes, this may take years, but a well-taken-care-of lamp should last until it's broken by human error. After all, it just sits there with nearly no moving parts. Your floor lamp descriptions should include more detail of the base construction.
