There are two versions of this lamp and if you are trying to hard-wire it and get the "wrong" one, as I did (the plug cord coming out of the gold base vs the bottom of the black arm) then it's no good. The installation instructions do not match the product, and you would end up with an ugly hole in the base where the cord used to be. Janky. Customer service leaves much to be desired and now I have wasted about an hour removing my old fixture, attempting to install this one and coming up short, and slogging through customer service and now have to wait 1-2 days with no light for a supervisor to address the issue. Update: I ended up cutting the cord and installing it anyway because I could not accept my dining room being held hostage for days while I await a "resolution" from customer service and it's... passable, but as others have also said, THE ARM DOESN'T SWING! Don't call it a swing arm if the arm doesn't swing! Literal, base, straightforward FALSE ADVERTISING.
