I chose to give this item 5 stars because it is exactly as advertised - a nice, heavy, industrial design, if that is what you are looking for. Prompt delivery too.Two FYI's to the prospective buyer. First, the red handle is decorative, it does not control the light. There is a dimmer switch on the cord that turns the light on and off.Second, the 40W bulb that comes with the lamp produces very little light. As such, the lamp is more of a decorative light or a night light. It is not bright enough to be used as a desk lamp. I asked the seller if you can use a higher wattage bulb. The seller responded, saying you can use a 60W bulb. Maybe I'll buy one and give it a try. On the plastic housing of the dimmer switch on the cord, it says "Max 300W Min 50W". I'm not sure if that's the rating for the switch or for the entire lamp. Maybe an electrically-inclined individual can comment on that. In the meantime, 60W seems the safest choice.
