It took me a while to purchase a lamp. Going by the pictures of the promotion I decided on this one. The pole comes in 3 separate sections and the colors of each do not match with the others giving away that the pole comes in part. I really don't like that but I don't want to go through the process of sending the item back. There were other comments pointing to this same issue and I was crossing my fingers that it would not happen to me. If you like something close to perfection, this is not the item to buy.
