Due to the telescopic nature this will require a long wire in order to allow for this. There are some looseness to the elements that would probably benefit from a tighten - some screws are missing and will need to be replaced. The shade is modern and the condition reflects this - a more sympathetic match could be sourced by the purchaser.Please refer to additional images for visual reference to conditionCondition Report Disclaimer
