The piece is advertised as being made out of marble, but as you can see, the base is actually very brittle engineered artificial stone.

The lamp is of high quality. It is sturdy and stylish and compliments my room. The price was a bargain!

We got this lamp to sit on top of a bureau without taking up too much space and to subtly light our bedroom instead of the overhead fluorescent in a drop ceiling. This lamp hit the mark on both counts. the mark

These are so petty. I got one for each night stand and could not be happier!

Very pleased with my purchase. It has a good weight. The style blends well with the 1950's furniture I have with my modern-minimalist style. The cord could be a little longer. It doesn't reach from the bedside table to the outlet behind a full size bed. But a short extension cord should fix that. Would recommend to others.
