I wasn’t totally sure what to expect because the discount was so deep. When the Gerlando 62” Floor Lamp arrived it was perfectly packaged. As I removed it, I could see that the metal hardware appeared to be quality made and finished nicely. The body of the lamp is a nice matte finish, black metal. It comes in four sections and they screw together nicely. The base is very heavy and is sure to hold the lamp steady. The lamp shade it comes with is a bit hum-drum and maybe two inches too small in diameter but that is an easy (and fun) fix. I think this is a great piece, especially for the price. I’m looking forward to finding the perfect lampshade for it.
