This lamp was difficult to put together. Overall it’s straight forward but the socket assembly was painful and the sockets on my lamp are not all level. The issue is the parts provided. The parts do not all align leaving the best features of the lamp, the bulbs and glass shades, uneven. One of the stand alone poles went together without a hitch - all parts matched up and were easy to manipulate to get the alignment straight. It seems the other two were not created with as much care to the overall result. I spent almost a hour trying to screw the socket together to make this lamp appear like the marketing photos. Disappointing for the price of this floor lamp. I would love the lamp if it weren’t for the unfinished/uneven final look.
