Nice and sturdy. My husband loves it.

I wanted this to be a 5 but it's a little cheap. The base is heavy so I will keep it. But before assembly I sprayed the cheap gold bead a matte black. Now it looks great. The lens does not swivel well. The little pieces to control that are plastic. So just ok. Cool on a bookshelf or desk. Just don't try to use it.

EXCELLENT value. Great craftmanship.
