This was a complete pain to put together, the main shaft that needs a screw didn't line up was somehow bent or just made to barely fit, had to drill a hole to get the screw in.  After we got everything together and hour later and put the lamp shade and diffuser on....TIPPED OVER!  This will not stand up with the diffuser on the shade.  Major Fail! What should have taken 10 minutes to put together was an hour project that needed a power drill...
