Great Mid Century Modern Look.  Great fabric texture shade.  Pole is not solid wood.  Its some kind of pressed cardboard/particle with wood finish/veneer.  Pole is in 3 pieces and screws together, but they don't align perfectly.  Also there is a black plastic space between each section I think detracts from it.  Because of the material its made of, I had to touch up the edges of each pole section with some stain.  Overall once you touch it up, it looks pretty good and the design in person can't be beat as the very tall shade oozes mid century.  But overpriced for the lower quality pole material.
