I looked at this in a store before I ordered here.  This was cheaper and it arrived a few days after ordering.  This is the most beautiful lamp I have ever seen.  It makes such a statement.  My son and I put it together in minutes.  I love being able to dim the lights and move the arms into whatever position I need them.  This works so well with my arts and crafts style living room and lights it up royally.  I have brown leather furniture with dark wood and slate furniture, and this makes it all shine.  I love it, just love it.  Everyone who sees it says the same.
