This is my second attempt at this lamp, first time I had it almost completely assembled when I realized the cord was cleanly cut in two! I just received the replacement lamp and put it all together just to see not only is the cord severely kinked but the lamp shade sconce that is supposed to hold the lamp shade on is all kinds of messed up. I will not ever buy this or any products made by this company. Wayfair has many great products...this lamp is not one of them.
