Excuse the mess on my mantle in the attached picture but I’m moving into a new home. Said home has zero overhead lighting in the living room so I was looking for a snazzy quality floor lamp and I stumbled upon these. They’re really well made, sturdy, with a nice heavy base, and they look great. I did however anchor them to my mantle because I have children but if you don’t have kids or pets the heavy base should be more than enough to keep your lamp safely upright. They are however a bit on the pricey side but if you can get it at a good price don’t hesitate. They arrived well packed and were easy to assemble. Two thumbs way up!
