The simple, modern design was appealing.... But when putting it together, I found that the sections on the base were cross-threaded, so getting them to screw together completely was pretty difficult. I reccomend sitting it in a corner with the base against both walls, just to add a little more stability, because its a little wobbly and very light. That may also be caused by cross-threading and forcing it to screw together without re-threading it. If given the opportunity over, again, I might spend a little more on something with better quality The 3-way dimmer switch is a nice feature,though.
