I LOVE these lamps.  They are gorgeous.  However, there is definitely a design flaw and it's driving me nuts.  I haven't decided if I'm just going to try and fix it myself or return them.  I bought two of these, which is why I know its a flaw in the design.  They lean.  It has to be from the super skinny pole, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it other than shoving some cardboard underneath the base.  That isn't a big deal and an easy enough fix, but for $70/a lamp, there shouldn't be anything like that happening. It is difficult to tell in the photo, but there are times when I looks like it's about to just fall over.  I gave it two stars because it is a beautiful lamp, I just think for the price per lamp, it should be perfect.
