Unbelievable quality for the low price! It takes a while to put all the strings of crystals on but, once done, it looks like you might have paid much. much more. The base is quite heavy, making this a very solid floor lamp which would not easily be knocked over. The use of GE Reveal brand bulbs really makes the glass "crystals" sparkle and shine! It even comes with a couple of packets of extra crystals should you ever have the misfortune of breaking one or more. The only thing I would have different would be a silver coloured power cord instead of the black, but that's just me being picky! Would definitely recommend this item.
