This is a beautiful work of art and I love the way it accents my home and is even a conversation piece, more like a sculpture than a lamp. Would have rated it 5 stars, but it was crazy hard to put together. The wood part of the stand has two bolts that come down, go through the metal cover that covers the concrete base and then nuts go on the bottom of the concrete base to tie it all together. The bolt holes in the metal cover did not align with the holes in the concrete base and I had to get my drill out to try to make them larger. I did that and it took over 2 hours. The enlarged holes I made are covered by the wood part of the stand, so no one can see how boogered up it really is under there.
