This is a sturdy, well-made lamp. The style is beautiful and works very well in our traditional home library. I had no issues with the height or head adjustment, and like how many configuration options there are. I ordered the weathered brass and in my opinion it was quite a bit brighter than as pictured. I plan to return it for a bronze one.

Great look and finish on this lamp. I used an edison style bulb to play up the vintage feel of this lamp.

Lamp not balanced well, tends to all over when touched. The fastening system is poor. Arms need tightened and re-tightened frequently. Not a good value for the amount of the purchase price.
