It is a beautiful lamp. However, I'm sending it back. The cord is supposed to be threaded into the pole and upon placing the cord in I noticed the wire covering had started to peel apart. I'm not pluging that thing in and potentially burning my house to the ground. That minor imperfection will cost someone majorly!. The intelligent thing to do is for the company to expand the pipe so the cord will glide easily. I didn't even attempt to do it because I was afraid of ripping the cord. So back to Wayfair it goes.
