The lamp is great looking and works well.  Assembly is a bit awkward and the bolts that hold the thing together are a big weak point.  They are too short.  It is easy to partially strip the threads on the embedded nuts when trying to bolt the heavy base to the upright piece.  The bolts are so short that they only provide for a couple of turns to hold the lamp together.  This weakens the structural integrity of the lamp if you don't manage perfection in assembling it.
