Love this! As I think others have noted, putting it together is probably a two person job, particularly if you’re planning to use it as a floor lamp. Not saying it’s impossible to put together without two sets of hands, just saying that I was very lucky that the screws in the bottom finally lined up with the poles the way they did. 

There were several times during assembly that I’d thought I had broken the lamp- I did not! You may find that you have to tighten the lights in their sockets once you finally get everything attached to the base.
