The pole was very flimsy and screwing the pieces together was a tremendous amount of frustration as the cord did not feed through well and they last two portion the cord doesn't tighten, so your trying to mash cord up into the pole and screw the pieces together

The black pole and extension for the reading lamp are attractive and sturdy and the shades are of a much better quality than I was ready to settle for within the price range

Overall, a FINE pole lamp choice.

The lighting is good but not a strong pole.

Needs to be stronger pole for stand

When assembling the light pole have patience, when scewing each pole rod attachment do it slowly if silver grooves are showing unscrew and try it again as I did and light pole will turn out perfect
