Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I ordered one of these lights for my son's dorm back in August. When we received it, the threads on the center posts weren't tight enough to stay together. Customer service was great and replaced it without issue. The new one was assembled and seemed to be fine. I recently ordered another one for my office. Screwed it together and it stood straight for about a day, then it slowly started bending into the mess you see in the picture. I was going to return it for a replacement until I spoke to my son and he told me his did the same thing. The center post in this lamp is made up of 5 individual pieces that screw together. As you can see from the close-up picture, there are very few threads on each piece. No way this thing will ever stand up straight for long. Spend a few extra dollars and buy something solid. Don't even give this one a try because packing it back into the original box to return it is a nightmare!!
