This lamp is a bad design for numerous reasons. Firstly it seems as though the lamp has not even been finished for there are holes missing where screws are meant to be in place and it is very unsturdy creating a hazardous situation. The main problem of the lamp is the lamp head.
Although it appears to be stable the actual connections of the lamp head are ridiculously clumsy. For instance when the top lamp shade is taken off to remove a busted light bulb the bottom lamp shade is flimsy and unstable for there is no support from the stand.
Furthermore the ring [circled below] is the lampshade's only support of staying upright. This may have been a great support system HOWEVER the ring is screwed into the pole with only one screw and on one side of the rod, which makes the ring lopsided hence the whole lamp head lopsided.
Not only is the bottom lamp shade faulty, the top one is too. As shown below there is a hole for screw to be inserted on the top lamp shade, HOWEVER in the pciture below there is no hole for the screw to pass through which is to stablise the top lamp shade! By the way this stupid lamp was given as a gift, I would never buy this!
Suggestions for improvements are firstly, create more stability to reduce to hazardous nature of this lamp. To do this I suggest creating more screws and ACTUAL holes for these screws to go into.
Secondly the actual lamp shades should be able to lock into place so no lopsidedness could occur.
