I think this is the greatest contemporary lighting which gives you a lot of bang for your buck! 300 watts of diffused light which I needed in a New York City Apartment.
You will need two people to assemble. I was not very careful in assembling and scratched the chrome while putting it together. So have someone hold some of the pieces while you're assembling
Also i was concerned that it flickers at low lighting level. but when I read instructions it said that's common and should be used on the brightest level which is what I need anyway

Pros: Great Light, Great price, Needed A Lot Of Light

I use this floor lamp in a dark corner and it lights up the room. I love the fact that i have an option of a bright light or low level light. I also love the contemporary style

Pros: Easy Assembly, Area of Illumination, Artistic Design, Sturdy, Provides great light, Easy to Clean, Good Size, Great look

Looks nice and provides a good amount of illumination to light up a large area.

It could use more dimmer settings.

Pros: Area of Illumination, Easy Assembly, Artistic Design, Sturdy, Good Size

Best Uses: Dark Corners, Living Room

The only reason to buy this lamp is to get 300 watts of light. The base is smaller than it should be in relation to the torchiere; the glass is held only by two little screws so it wiggles around if moved at all; the knob that turns the light on and off keeps falling off--a new one will be sent to me so I am hoping. I think the concept of this lamp is good but the design is not so good. It could tip over.

Pros: Lots of light

Cons: Not well designed

This lamp looks great in my nursery and fully illuminates a medium size room, which has no other lighting. Looks good and the price is much less than anything similar in local stores. Great purchase.

Pros: Looks good, Bright

Strong light and stylish design.

Pros: Easy Assembly, Area of Illumination, Artistic Design

Cons: Short Cord

Best Uses: Workspace, Dark Corners

This lamp works well to illuminate our glass shelving - the reflective light from the lamp produces soft shadows behind our collection. This was the most acceptable lighting we could find.

These are really gorgeous sturdy Deco torchieres that look really pricey and aren't. Nicely balanced and don't fall over even on carpet!!!

I am enjoying the bright light of the above floor lamp. I would have preferred having the On/Off switch located lower on the lamp pole. It is a good-looking floor lamp.
