The lamp is very attactive and provides plenty of light. I have two concerns I will share. It has special bulbs peculiar to it. And, I often think that there must be a better way to install the pole...it fits loosely over a metal pipe we had to buy ourselves and install. If visitors touch the post, it doesn't feel stable because the outside pole is slightly loose on the inside post. This makes it seem flimsy when it isn't. I put two of these lamps on poles and one on a rock post. They look very nice.
