I was pleased with the lamp until it was assembled. It doesn't stand straight which is annoying. My husband reassembled the lamp, but no matter what he did the lamp was just crooked. He ended up putting a shim underneath to balance the lamp, & since it stands behind a chair & isn't noticeable I decided to keep the lamp. It didn't seem worth my effort to box it up to return, however had I purchased it in a store it would have gone back.
