Ive had the lamp for a few months now and for the most part it has served its purpose. I only have 1 complaint, the lampshade cones off when slightly touched and it has nothing to griphold it back in place. There are small metal wires (the 3 wires coming from the side of the shade to the socket in the pictures) that connect to the light socket which you have to just hope will hold in place when it comes apart. I have one picture where the lampshade is straight the way it should be so you can compare. It is inconvenient having to find the a way for the shade to stay on because any little movement, tap, touch will make it fall and dangle again.
