One of the sections of the pole was not threaded correctly so it couldn’t be connected properly with the adjoining section. Had to repack everything and return it.

Bought this a year ago. Top light just stopped working. It's not the bulbs, since I changed them. Just the hardware. Top light flickered for a few days, now it just goes on for a second and dies right away. Clear indicator of cheap internal cables or bad connections. The secondary light still works since it's rarely used. Not sure if I should expect to replace these every year. That would seems unreasonable. Other than than, it was bright and sturdy while it lasted. Too bad, it crapped out.

The small shade lamp does not fit over the small socket. It’s also the last step so now I have to unassemble the entire lamp. Very frustrating.

I purchased two of these lamps. One for additional lighting in my bedroom, the other for my foyer. Everything was going good assembling it until I got to the last pole part at the top. I tried so hard to get it straight and screw it all the way until the palm of my hand was red and sore. When I tried to unscrew it to get it even to start that section all over, I couldn't unscrew it! It wouldn't BUDGE! I was sooo disappointed! I returned the lamp back to my local target sticking up crazily in the box because I wasn't able to take it apart. I still have the second one and will trying putting it together when the palm of my hand is heals. I hope and pray I won't have the same issue and it screws in evenly. I wish their Quality Control would be more mindful of the supposedly ease of the assembling process.

This lamp stopped working after having it for about 10 months. Out of nowhere, the top two bulbs started flickering and then went out permanently. I changed them out, but the new bulbs did not work either. The reading light still works but I am afraid to use the lamp because the wiring seems to be faulty. I am really disappointed because I really like the look of this lamp and I can't even exchange or return it. There's $55 down the drain!

It's going back. Impossible to assemble. I thought I was going to have a stroke. Threading is so cheaply made it's rough and jams hopelessly. It's a real heartbreak because the lamp otherwise has all the features we'd been looking for.

Lamp was shipped broken. It looked like it had been previously opened and returned. Pieces were missing. It was made cheaply. I would not recommend.

I like the lamp. It is a bit awkward to put it together solo, because it is top-heavy and there are 3 sections to put together before the top goes on, but I managed.

Had this lamp for about 3 weeks before it suddenly broke. The two bulbs in the larger shade suddenly would not turn on, reading lamp is fine. I tried changing the bulbs, trying different power outlets, looking at the wiring of the lamp -- nothing worked. Also, the wiring sticks out of the base in such a way that the base does not rest flat on the ground, and therefore the lamp is permanently wobbly. Would not recommend.

Loved the lamp. Just what I was looking for. However..........purchased 2 and returned both for the same reason >>defective threads. Not able to piece poles together. Threads were cheaply made and pole parts would not go together. So disappointing. Other customers indicated the same thing. Manufacturer need to get this resolved asap.
