This table lamp is aesthetically pleasing. However, for the $100+ price tag, parts of it are not very stable. The light socket is not attached when you receive the lamp – you'll need to pull the cord through the lamp to get the light socket into the opening on the base of the lamp. There seems to be no real way to get this piece firmly attached to the base, causing the light fixture and shade to wobble horribly. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I consider myself fairly handy and can't find a solution to the problem. I've also got the lamp connected to outlets that turn on when a switch is fired so I don't personally need to turn these on and off, but if you're someone who does, you might find the wobble extremely annoying. I just wanted to note this for others, as I didn't see this mentioned in any of the reviews before purchasing.
