We bought 3 of these lamps.
The lamp itself is very sturdy and tall, base is very strong, no issues with swaying or tipping.
The assembly instructions are awful. You need to make sense of some critical things on your own (deciding to line up the letters even though it mentions this no where in the instructions) and if you don’t, you will spend some valuable time trying to correct the mistake. 
Quite frustrating to assemble but I am pleased with the lamp.
