Nice BUT...
I would of given this a 4 maybe a 4 1/2 but the lever that you turn doesn't turn, it doesn't move at all, I took it apart and it would move but there seemed to be a grinding noise and once I put it back together it still wasn't moveable either up or down nor could I even twist it to change the bulb setting (low, medium, high) so I got a very good looking lamp but it is not a 3 way, just have a light that can't shut off from the lamp itself, I have it plugged into an outlet strip that I use to push the outlets red button to turn the lamp off and on. Also, you have to be VERY careful assembling the pieces (the pole) because you could strip the threads easily if you're not careful. Otherwise, it is a very good looking lamp and very heavy. Would I purchase again ...probably not unless I got an assurance that the lever worked so that I truly had a 3 way !
