In appearance, this floor lamp is tall, visually impressive, and, in its way, rather magnificent. The brass (or brass plating?) has a subdued glow and the shade--whose color I would call a light tan--is attractive. Functionally, the base is wide and heavy, so the lamp should be stable in normal use. The swing arm works smoothly and the three-way light is effective. Assembly is pretty simple.
But the quality of the lamp isn't so careful as the picture suggests and as one might expect for the price. Specifically, on my sample, one of the spindles that ornaments the top of the column is flattened on two sides, when it should be round. I assume this is due to a lapse in craftsmanship on the part of the Chinese factory that made the lamp. Or could it be intentional--a little "distressing" to mimic the look of "antique" brass? Either way, I don't like this "feature" and was tempted to return the lamp for exchange because of it. However, in the end I decided to keep it. After all, my sample could be better than what would be sent in its place.
Notwithstanding any flaws, this review is generally positive. Overall the lamp looks very good, although less refined than in the picture. And--perhaps most importantly--my spouse is happy with it.Very high quality light fixture. Easy to put together. Exceeded our expectations, which were high. There is nothing cheap about this lamp. Could easily be a heirloom furniture item.
