I can't get the darned thing out. I'd write a review on its functionally but I can't even open the friggin thing. Absurd packaging.

Ok so 15 minutes later I finally got it. I had to put the thing between my legs as if I was delivering a baby. Lol. Hint: if you bend the wires a tad in a thigh-master-like movement, it eases the base of the lamp out. The wires seem to bounce back and the lamp shade didn't dent (whew). For fellow semi-ocd'ers: it won't get damaged.
