I love this lamp! The base is heavy, the built is solid, the height is great for our room and it looks very elegant. There are four settings (1- 1 lamp on, 2- 2 lamps, 3- 3 lamps, 5- off) so you can change the room ambiance. I have seen a similar style lamp in one of the superstores for a cheaper price (in copper color), but the built was flimsy. I am glad I purchased this lamp. Even my husband was raving about how great it looks!
