Impossible to put globes on lamp. The metal base for the globes is concave every quarter instead of being the same all the way around. As a result the glass globes binds against the base before it can be turned into position. Further the crystals on the back of the crystal globe also bind on the metal base protrusions preventing the crystal globes from seating properly. The only way we could use this item is to not put the glass globes on it and even then the crystal globes barely remain attached to the metal base.   It is poorly designed.
