Love this lamp, easy to assemble, looks beautiful in my beach condo and gives off excellent light.  There is a problem with the connection of the base and the pole as it is not secure and the pole wobbles too much, it was dangerous.  The things I tried to make it secure did not work.  I immediately contacted the manufacture asking what I need to do to correct.  They responded I must have a defected lamp and are shipping me another one.  I am happy with them.
