Not too sturdy and difficult for pole to stand straight.

Pole diameter only about 1 inch. I have a another pole lamp that is about 1.5 in. in diameter and looks much sturdier and better. Difficult to screw pieces into each other and pole doesn't stand straight. Not too sturdy and lamp shade is too short which exposes too much of the bulb base. Would have returned it if I had purchased it in a local store but I would have to pay for return shipping. Disappointed. No pull chain so awkward to put your hand way under shade to turn switch on.
