It’s obvious the seller is getting seconds that should have been thrown out. I’m a mechanical guy so I was able to spend 3 hours of my time fixing this cheap junk. One of the locating pins was missing ( as many are ). My main bolt hole had bad threads. I have metric taps so I could re-tap it to work. The lamp holder was crooked. It leaned BAD, almost to the point of tipping over. . I had to bend the base in my hydraulic press to make it stand straight. Other than that it looks nice now. I wish I could have shoved this up the sellers ass. Wish I could get my $90 back. Junk Junk Junk Junk Junk does everyone understand that? Don’t buy this.
