Title: Design Flaw?
Review: Have had three lamps over past year. Unlike some other floor lamps I've purchased, this lamp does NOT let you pull through the excess cord in the tubing through the base. This is quite an omission in terms of design.When assembling, there is a great deal of excess cord which needs to be carefully pushed down into the tube to give enough room to screw the poles onto each other and the base. What results is a lot of bunched up, twisted cords that have given me a few months, at best, of service.One lamp actually blew a bulb simply turning it on. The others smoked and sparked while in use. It's obvious that the wiring is not very high-quality, and there's absolutely no excuse for that even at a low price.While it has neat safety features such as tilt-protection (the unit will automatically shut off if tilted), and an incredibly bright 300w bulb - I strongly recommended looking elsewhere for a floor lamp.
