Love the modern minimal look but very bad construction. The arm broke and there is no way to fix it. Have tried taking it apart and moving around the wire, reversing the direction, tc... it just won't stay up.

This brass lamp is lovely-looking and turns on, so I'm giving it 2 stars for that. BUT the parts are cheap and the design is top-heavy, so in reality it's more of a "Leaning Tower of Lamp." I shouldn't be surprised that a $40 lamp would be so poorly fabricated. The stem of the lamp doesn't fully connect to the base no matter how many times I tried to tighten it, so the weight of the top of the lamp causes it to list forward. I just don't have the bandwidth deal with returning it, so I'm putting it in my studio where I can use a piece of furniture and a strap to support the lamp over my desk. Better luck next time, I guess?

Do you feel like you don’t have enough stress & frustration in your life? Just want to add a fare of red to your day? This is the answer! The style is cool enough to want to build yourself a new lamp, but the pieces will disappoint you as you struggle with those that don’t actually fit together.

After using for a month there are pros and cons. Pro, fairly easy to assemble and good for specific lighting area. Con, when moving it around by the base rod, the threading of the 3 pieces changes which only became apparent when it toppled over. Also, does not adjust up and down more than an inch at the elbow portion. Best if for one spot. I'm using it to bring light over my desk but need to move it out of my way often to walk by so would not buy again.

This lamp looks nice but over time has started to bend at the joint because there is no counterweight for the lampshade. I noticed this mentioned in a few other reviews, tried the sand trick but this just got sand everywhere. Spend the extra $10 or whatever on another lamp.

I know this is a $40 lamp but it’s very poor quality. It should really be $25 max!! The finish isn’t great and there’s a lot of dings.

I loved it for a bit, but then the knob no longer holds it up.

the lamp was a great look, but the quality was compromised as the lampshade was scratched and the brass stem was varied in color from one part of the pole to another. Very Disappointed

The bottom isn't large enough or heavy enough to keep the lamp from easily toppling over. The lamp shade isn't strong enough to be adjusted upwards, it will always droop down.

Cool looking lamp but uses slightly different colors of bronze/brass through out the pole. This is unclear from the pictures online and makes it look cheap. Mine also came very scratched like someone took sandpaper to it around the knob area.
