This article is seriously built quite what I expected. It is both beautiful and discreet, and relatively easy to install and implement. The marble base is very heavy and ensures perfect stability. In return, it is quite difficult to move then if the floor is not perfectly smooth. Its reflector bowl (very airy) is adjustable, making it possible to choose the direction for lighting. It can also be pivoted about the axis of the marble base, which may be useful. A small flat (Otherwise I would have rated 5 stars): I find it unfortunate that the socket receiving the bulb is plastic, because I know from experience that this material "cooked" in the long run with the heat of the lamp. To the attention of prospective buyers, I recommend to inquire exact dimensions (It's big enough, although it fits perfectly at home) ... and to bring a key adapted to the screw that secures the walk underneath. It must be a great wrench (socket wrench because of access). I did not have it and I had to use a wrench on the cross for dismantling the car wheels! Despite these (small) reservations, I highly recommend buying this lamppost which I am very satisfied. I have also bought a second.
