Nice looking lamp that gives off great light even with the cream-colored glass shade. Heavy base makes it very sturdy, even though our old wood floor is a little uneven in the spot it stands in. The only problem was that the first lamp received was defective, but customer service is great and we got the replacement quickly. The only issue with this keeper is that the brown color of the metal is scraped off a bit in two areas where the poles screw together, showing the silver base metal, but we've turned this toward the wall and nobody else would even know about it.
