The lamp is great, and totally meets our needs.  The antique brass stand and smoked glass lamps go perfectly with our other lighting fixtures.  It is great to have an adjustable arm, although the lamp is a bit heavy for the "neck".  All in all, a perfect reading lamp.

However, we almost had to ship the entire lamp back since one of the pole pieces was slightly dented on one end, and it took us almost a half hour to get those threds to match up with its counterpart piece.  Perhaps related to that dented part is the fact that the packing material was very inferior -- and there were hundreds of minute pieces of styrofoam all over the room where the lamp was unpacked since the styrofoam kept breaking apart.

Pros: Great lamp for a super price -- once you get it assembled.
Cons: Due to the inferior packing materials, you may want to unpack all of the pieces outside.
