Instructions were  bit of  joke as NO WRITTEN information & obvious whoever designed the 'picture by number' did not proof their work.  Glad I read  previous reviews to put it together on a bed, etc. & to pull the wire all the way through first!   Disappointed I couldn't raise/lower height of base stem.  And glad a review mentioned the on/off switch was located on the thin pole, so I had to take it apart after the first try when I realized there were inset sinking screws in several other holes that would tighten the thin pole,  Other than that. I'm enjoying the dimmer switch on the pole!
