I love the lamp and used it in my reception area behind a chair. After a couple months I noticed it was leaning over the chair. I tried to twist it to tighten it but the threads that hold the pole together at the base were worn and couldn't be tightened. Then I noticed the threads half way up the pole were also stripped. It was only a matter of time before the light was going to tip and land on top of a patients head.
I took it down thinking it just wasn't put together right.  What I found was the # of threads at each connection were insufficient to hold the weight of the lamp.
I am sad because I liked the look of the lamp. I wish there was a way to repair it.
