While this is an attractive lamp, it is poor quality.  The threads of the top segment were poorly milled so they don't screw all the way in, leaving a gap in the dark exterior, showing the internal stainless steel threads.  Also, on our lamp the slim neck portion with the three flat discs between them isn't lined up: it's not a long slim neck with three discs around it, but rather, three short neck pieces welded to three discs, then stacked up, and the stacks don't align, so our slim neck portion is disjointed looking.  Would not buy again, but sending it back would be almost impossible given the disintegrating styrofoam packaging that it came in.
