The lamp looks great and was just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the holes in the base that the bottom, curved part of the pole attach through were slightly too close to each other. As it arrived, it would have been impossible to attach. However, they only needed to be about 1/16" further out, so I was able to wear down the metal a little with a drill, just enough to push it through. Now that it's assembled, I love it!
