I feel like I could have gotten the same quality of lamp from another store for much less money! I knew we would have to put it together, which wasn't an issue, but one of the brackets is welded crooked so it doesn't sit square on the floor. It is tippy, so I have to put a shim under one leg. The shaft that holds the light doesn't tighten all the way so it is also tippy and a little loose. The shade actually has a defect, as well, so you can see white light through a small circle.
