I bought this lamp for my living room. It gives great light which is not too harsh and has three useful light setting. The glass globe is quite large (22"). It is not a lamp you put in the corner that will go unnoticed. My living room area is 20 ft by 12 ft. In rooms smaller than this lamp might appear to be too big.

Pros: Easy Assembly, Area of Illumination, Sturdy

Best Uses: Living Room, Dark Corners

The lamp made a lovely statement when we first got it. In fact, if I reviewed the lamp earlier on, this would have been a glowing review. However, two and a half years after purchase, the lamp's "brushed nickel finish" is noticeably spotted with rust. We don't even touch the lamp. We turn it on/off with a wall switch. At this price point, I expected a rust free lamp.

Pros: Artistic Design, Area of Illumination, Good Size

Cons: Longevity Issues, Rust

This lamp is my major source of light in my sewing and work room. The lamp produces a daylight level of illumination for work time. At low level it is perfect for watching TV or dozing. The design is elegant and non- obtrusive. The look of the lamp is strong and grounded in the room.I have also bought another Possini lamp similar to this one only with the addition of two task lamps for my office. I would purchase this lamp again,perfect in illumination, design and quality.

This is a sturdy, good looking lamp with great light output. But my particular unit had bad fitting. I had to replace both glass pieces with those from a floor unit because they were warped, too small, or had unfinished rims. The lamp also leaned, which I corrected with a shim. And the light switch is crooked. But I would still recommend the lamp, just inspect the fitting of the glass pieces closely. Even though it is sold as a European design with an Italian name, it is made in China, so that's the kind of quality you get.

Pros: Sturdy, Area of Illumination, Artistic Design

A very well made stylish lamp that was easy to assemble. The light produced with the included four 26 watt CFL lamps was a little much to the extent that we replaced the included lamps with four 13 watt CFL lamps. Now the level of light is just right with one lit for mood or all four lit for reading.

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

Best Uses: Decoration, Reading

Love the lamp. Have a large room with a high ceiling and it adds great lighting upwards in the room. Bought at open box and it came in perfect condition.

Pros: Artistic Design, Area of Illumination, Sturdy, Style and saves energy

Cons: Bulb specific base

Best Uses: Dark Corners, Whole room lighting, Decoration

I bought this lamp primarily as a sewing lamp; I have 10 foot ceilings in a large room so it's easy for light to get swallowed up. This lamp is really perfect for my needs.
It also beautifully made and beautiful to look at.
The heavy base makes it very secure.
I love the four CFL lamps so I can dim it if I choose.
If it weren't so pricey I'd have bought two!

We have a 30 x 16 family room with many large windows but our house is surrounded by large fir trees so the room was always dark. We purchased two of these floor lamps and now our room is warm and bright day and night. In the daytime we use either the first or second setting and by night we want lots of light so we use the full four bulb setting. Our friends now comment on how bright and warm the room is. We get lots of compliments on the style and appearance of the lamps. They give off more light than any other lamp we saw. We love them both. Thanks Robert and Lamps Plus!

This lamp lights up an enormous living room with
soft lighting. It makes a large and stylish statement in this room. And the lighting has no harshness unlike some lamps. The glass shade is
just great.

This lamp was recommended by a relative. When I was redecorating my 23X13 living room, I checked Lamp Plus and saw the lamp on sale! I purchased two. They are easy to assemble and provide very good illumination. The short cord limits the distance I can place it away from the electrical outlet. During assembly, I noticed that there appeared to be some rust inside the metal pipes. I am not sure if this will have any impact on the lamps' longevity. I did not research the bulb type, so I was surprised to see that the CFL bulb was of a twist-lock type and not the standard screw-on incandescent type. I ran into a little problem with one of the lamps. The multi-level lamp is supposed to turn on 1-3-4 bulbs. Instead, it was 0-2-3 bulbs. This was a bit discouraging. I then moved one of the bulbs to a different socket and everything worked as advertised. Not sure why this happened, but I would still recommend this lamp to a friend.

My husband likes light, that is why we have a house with 50+ windows. You can imagine how many lights we have when the sun goes down. This torchiere light is great, with four 26W CFL light bulb, that produces more than 400 watt light. The torchiere has switch to adjust the light to 1,3,4 light bulbs on. When my husband is not around, I turn it to 3 lights on, that is more than enough light.
The design is simple and elegant,the quality is study and well made. Very happy with the product.

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

We like it very much. The glass globe is really large but fits into our corner in the living room behind a sectional sofa. It is well made. The instructions in assembling it could be more detailed.

Purchased this item for my home office and appreciate that even though it is an eco friendly light, it illuminates the room with such great light that I can work late into the night reading and working with numbers. All the other torchiere lights I've owned were unsteady and required utmost care to not tip over, this one has a wide, heavy base and will never cause concern.

Pros: Area of Illumination, Easy to Clean, Sturdy, Good Size, Easy Assembly

[...] Even the directions made sense. Just perfect. Will definately buy from Lamps Plus again.

Possini lamps are very well made and look artistic in design. This lamp is very solid and heavy. All the parts are first class and it's easy to put it together. The lighting is wonderful because you have three choices. Choice one lights one bulb, choice two lights 3 bulbs, and choice 3 lights all 4. The bulbs are easy to install and you can order them online at several places. I love the lovely style of the lamp and it's easy to clean.

Since I moved into a new home office a year ago, I've been making do with a collection of a dim floor lamp + 2 on my desk. Always felt dingy. The "Light Blaster" is as advertised - my 15' x 20' room is now flooded with great light, at any of the 3 settings. Note: the assembly requires careful attention to detail: you need to screw in the metal rim/plate as the next-to-last step, right before installing the bulbs.

This lamp replaced a Torchiere style lamp which had suffered damage during a move. I love the Torchiere style and am grateful that I was able to find this beautiful replacement.

It's just what I was looking for to bring additional light into the bedroom. Putting it together is not the most intuitive as the instructions are a bit misleading, but once it's done it works well. I like that it has three brightness settings, which allows me to set the appropriate lighting in the room. Overall, a good choice for a fair price.

Somewhat costly, but is a stylish and sturdy product that provides excellent light via energy saving bulbs.

I bought one for my New York apartment. My only complaint was the instructions for assembling the
very top where the glass shade is secured. They
were not clearly described.
This lamp is so beautiful I am buying one for my
apartment in Miami Beach; and a few complementary
lamps to complete the picture.
This torchiere really is too beautiful for words.

Pros: Gorgeous, Great value for the price, Artistic Design, Sturdy, Area of Illumination

Cons: Instructions need work

Overall quality is excellent. Provides varying levels of lighting. With 1 click you have soft light. If you need more, simply click.

Cons: That must be purchased, Through Lamps Plus, Requires a specific bulb

Perfect for our large great room. only need one of these to light up the whole area. can even read by it!!

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

It has been used to luminate a dark corner, does very well. would highly recommend.

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

Lamp had rust on it. It was eventually replaced but it was s hassle and took
A long time. The whole process took a month to finally get my lamp.

Service Dept. was reasonable though not able to do anything useful.

Pros: Area of Illumination, Artistic Design, Good Size

This lamp was easy to put together and is extremely well made. It has a really nice heavy weight to all the parts and you can easily see the quality and workmanship. It works beautifully for low light (1 bulb comes on) medium light (3 bulbs come on) and bright light (all 4 bulbs come on).

I really love the lamp and it's very attractive. The design is beautiful and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase more Possini products.

The lamp arrived within a few days and was very easy to assemble. I got it for the living room, which has dark paneled walls and a high white ceiling. The lamp works well to illuminate about half the room, which is better than I had hoped. I am buying another light blaster for the bedroom. Highly recommended for dark corners and difficult-to-light rooms.

Pros: Easy Assembly, Sturdy, Artistic Design, Good Size

Cons: Difficult to Change Bulb

Best Uses: Reading, Bedside, Dark Corners, Living Room, Decoration

Service was very good. It was assembled in the store. I am somewhat disabled and would have had trouble doing it myself. Everyone was very friendly.

Pros: Area of Illumination

Cons: Only one light or three

I purchased two and had to return one for finish/cosmetic defects.

The protection circuit on these prevents using a CFL bulb. In modern times, it does not make sense to sell a lamp where a CFL bulb is prohibited.
