Better Home & Gardens Metal Transitional Floor Lamp, Silver Finish

This lamp came unassembled and was very easy to assemble. It did come with directions. It took about 30 minutes to put it together and all parts are included, even the lamp shade. The color is nickel, but to me it's dark nickel which didn't bother me. The base is heavy enough to keep it upright and in place yet light enough to carry to a different location. The hollow pole is made of metal that the electrical cord goes thought. The base and top feel like hard plastic. This lamp takes two bulbs with watt restrictions to 60 watt bulbs. The lamp shade is white plastic with a fabric like material on the outside of the shade. The shade has little metal tabs in it that help to hold it to the 2 circular metal hoops. You don't have to use the lamp shade that came with it as it is able to use any lamp shade you like. The light assembly is metal also. The ends of the on/off chains are easy to grasp. I particularly like this lamp because it takes 2 light bulbs instead of one, thus providing more light. I also like the nickel finish because it looks very modern. I saw nothing I dislike about this lamp. Wish I had another one to go with this one!
