Maybe I didn't read closely enough, but I didn't realize that it would come in segments that required screwing together -- reminded me of my college dorm room lamp and not the solid construction classy living room lamp I was looking for. That said, the construction is not obvious when put together. It does sit a bit crooked. Since it is meant to move, it doesn't bother me as much as it would if stationary, but it is obvious from across the room. Purchased on sale at a good price, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much!!  Wayfair is a good company and I will continue to use!!
