Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never write reviews, but I'm making an exception. I almost didn't buy this lamp because of all the reviews saying the wires didn't fit, and/or the tubes wouldn't screw together. I figured for the price I'd give it a shot and would just return it if I had similar problems. I had the lamp assembled in 2 minutes...no issues. However, I see where people may have gotten tripped up. When you screw the rods together you have to pull the excess wire through the base so there is no slack. This isn't mentioned in the instructions but seemed pretty straightforward to me. I understand that assembly might not be everyone's strong suit, but that isn't the products fault. As far as the lamp goes, it's exactly what I expected, a good cheap lamp. I know a review like this would have been helpful to me in making a decision, so I figured maybe it'd be helpful to you.
