Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm going to be really specific, because the reviews made me question whether or not I should buy this lamp. The lamp arrived on time. Nothing was broken, and customer service responded to my assembly question within one day. Assembly is easy. There are five parts, including the three light chandeliers. I assembled within 15 minutes. (Hint: the screw and two washers are inside the lamp base. Just unscrew and put together.) The lamp measures 7 1/2 feet high. You have about 4 feet of completely verticle lamp pole, then the remaining 3 1/2 feet curve over to the side. The "curve" is about 4 1/2 feet in width. You should be able to measure and see if your furniture will fit with this lamp. Because it's beautiful! The lamp base is 17 1/4 inches by 18 1/2 inches. To prevent the huge "curve", I propped an edge of the base on a small book. The lamp is base heavy, and the base is heavier on the solid black side, so it was very easy to balance the lamp on a shallow book.
