Directions say to screw the saddle into the base but there are no threads on either the base or the part that sits on it. When trying to place the upper part on the base, it does not sit down completely over the base so it is wobbly. I don’t know how you’re supposed to keep it upright.
Update. I did figure out how to screw it together, but this lamp is definitely not worth the money in my opinion. The shade is huge & looks odd with the lamp base. The lamp base is hollow. There is no bottom. I purchased a different shade for it.
