This lamp looks really cool, but it is difficult to assemble.  Don't be afraid to really jam the cord into the rods.  Also, ours came missing a piece, and instead of just sending the missing part, allmodern sent us a whole new lamp which is annoying because we don't need 2, and now we need to throw away an entire lamp when for one little part.

Pros: Looks cool
Cons: Hard to put together, and no easy solution for missing parts.
