I put my lamp together today. The base is quite heavy and the poles screw together in a way that is very sturdy. No wobbling. So happy about that because I've had those floor lamps in the past that were flimsy where they screw together. The wood grain is nicely done and a perfect match to my dark brown couch. Also the right height to hang over where I sit and work on art! Awesome, brilliant full spectrum light! I'm one happy artist!
