I like the design, but the workmanship and overall quality of this lamp is poor.  The surface on the wooden posts is marred with scratches, one of the bolts at the top of the post became unglued when trying to assemble the lamp, and the knob to switch on the lamp will bend if pressure is applied slightly off center (now I tend to rotate it very gently to avoid this issue).  AllModern graciously sent me a replacement after I complained about the original lamp, but it too exhibits similar issues - I think these lamps suffer from poor workmanship and shoddy quality in general.
