The lamp itself appears very nice, has substantial weight, and has a very nice finish. However, the switch is made out of cheap plastic and is not aligned very well with the metal piece it protrudes from. This makes it VERY difficult to turn off and on and I'm quite confident that in a very short amount of time it will wear out and stop working. In fact, in just a few minutes of me playing around with it, it failed to operate a couple of times. I fear that if I want an operable lamp I will have to buy one of those wireless sockets to plug it into so I can have a wall-mounted switch to turn it off and on (if you have a wall socket with a dedicated switch this would be just as useful.) And although this method will work (despite the extra money spent)it defeats the 3-way switch and bulb design completely.
So I'm happy with the lamp in general, but the switch did not appear to be designed by the same company that made the lamp. Pretty silly if you ask me, especially when you consider that the lamp will be useless if the switch fails!

I purchased this lamp for it's looks and style. Amazon had the "best price"! Easy to unpack and set up, but the over all quality of the lamp's stability is lacking. I will work on it to figure out what adjustments may be necessary. I'm a handy person, so not a problem for me. Overall, it fits the look and style of my contemporary surrounds....only wish, if it had a dimmer switch, allowing "mood" lighting.
