I am SO MAD!!! I have had this lamp for only four months and it stopped working. We operate it with a light switch that's connected to the electrical socket, so I haven't even touched the darned thing except for the first time I plugged it in. Now, 3 1/2 months later, it doesn't work at all. My husband has been trying to rewire it, but it's so awkward and terribly made that it's a nightmare. What a piece of junk!! Such a waste of good money.
