wow
(5 out of 5) by Sarah Liu on Apr 1, 2006 (Sacramento, Ca)I'm going to order this at Amazon.com from an Awesome Deal I found on DailyTool.com. It's really a great deal.

I love it so much, I just bought a second one!
(5 out of 5) by S. Wintermantel on Mar 24, 2006 (Wellsville, OH United States)This lamp is a terrific deal! I was pleasantly surprised when I had it all set up and turned it on. It gives the appearance of a more expensive lamp. I just ordered a second one.

These are not as described...
(1 out of 5) by Coffee Drinker on Jun 13, 2006 (MO)The description clearly states:
-Brass plated finish
-Ivory plastic shade
yet both of these statements are untrue. The lamps I received are black with white plastic shades edged in gold.
For the price, I wasn't expecting high quality, but they should, at the very least, match the given product description.
So, unless you are looking for a black lamp with a gold edged white plastic "shade" (not a bronze & ivory lamp) this is NOT the product you want to buy.

Worth a lot more !
(5 out of 5) by Joan E. Ebberts on Mar 29, 2009I purchased this lamp for my very dark living room. It's wonderful. Since it uses up to a 100 watt bulb, it gives me all the light I need.
Now, I read the reviews only giving the lamp 1 or 2 stars...
1. The lamp IS sturdy if you take the time to put the poles together correctly. Each section of the pole has a small bump on it--line that bump up to the ridge in the pole above it, wiggle into place, then turn the pole slightly and it will lock into place.
2. As for the shade locking ring... if you look carefully , you will see that the ring actually has 2 parts--the inner tube and an outer ring. Remove from the lamp, put the shade in place, line the locking tube up with the center of the lamp and screw it down as far as you can--THEN, while holding the inner tube steady, simply screw down the RING. It's the ring part that holds the shade in place.
I will make a suggestion to the company to re-write the instructions to make the assembly a bit clearer.
Other than that--I LOVE my new lamp!!

Serves it's purpose- needs a switch option
(3 out of 5) by Liesel Phillips on Mar 2, 2009 (Fort Campbell, KY)I knocked this over and it broke. The touch sensor doesn't work anymore. I tried taking it apart... I don't know who I thought I was : ) I couldn't fix it. It would be nice if this had a manual switch option on the pole somewhere for just this reason. I now have to unplug it to shut it off or turn it on... Bummer. Also, the shade is pretty cheapy looking.
