The item arrived within 6 days of ordering and I could see, as the package was sitting on my porch, that it looked pretty banged up. When I picked the package up to take it inside the box inside slid around. I opened the outside box to see there was one long sheet of butcher paper loosely packed inside and when I opened the lamp box I found the glass shade shattered. I was unable to get another lamp from the warehouse but was able to return it with ease and the shipping was paid for by Amazon. (unlike Overstock)

I had bought this lamp due to not having enough space in my room for a table lamp and it definitely works well. The frosted shade protects from any glare on my television and it lights my room perfectly. The only problem with this lamp is that I had bought it with the expectation that it could dim using a 3-way bulb, however it is not capable of doing so. The product features state: # Rotary 3-way switch on torchiere and rotary switch on reading lamp # Uses 100W Type A 3-way bulb and 40W Type A bubl - Not included However there is neither a rotary switch on the reading lamp nor an actual 3 way switch. Don't get me wrong, this lamp was worth the purchase due to the Amazon Prime eligibility and cheap price, although I wish that the feature description actually matched the product I had received.

Awesome Product for the price! It's elegant and the price is not too bad. Shipped with no prolems at all.

We just purchased a new couch, and we no longer had room for the little lamp table we used to use, so we needed a new lamp, as well as something for reading. This was PERFECT. My husband put it together today (very easily), and it is very, very, pretty. It will fit nicely where we need it to, and the reading lamp is perfect - it is adjustable, and I can sit in my new "reading corner" of the couch, and place the lamp exactly where I want it. It seems to be very well made, as well, and looks like a far more expensive lamp. I'm really happy with this purchase - I was kind of afraid to order a lamp online, because I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it, so I was quite relieved to be so happy with this purchase. It is even prettier than it looks in the picture, and the finish is lovely. My favorite part is the little reading lamp (which is also very pretty). I wasn't sure I'd be able to find something I liked that would work with the new, high-backed couch that had no room for anything on the side, and I have to say I'm more than happy - not only did I find something I liked, but it was reasonably priced, and beautiful as well!

The glass shades are beautiful and the metal work is also very nice. The only things I would change would be to give the reading light it's own switch and give the torchiere a 3-way option. It has a nice, heavy weight, decorative base. I thought the price was very reasonable, too.

I loved the idea of this lamp and it seemed perfect for the living room (cheap too) but some reviews said that the switch broke shortly after using it and sure enough it happened to me as well. However, I don't think it is entirely the lamps fault. Obviously there is some assembly to this product and I think thats where the problem comes in. I spent a hour with the lamp, a six pack, and a few different outlets to come to find out that the plastic screw piece that holds the glass shade in place had to be crimping something that stopped the switch from working. I think it has something to do with the wiring that runs down one of the legs inside and it's positioning (which you don't have much control over during assembly) that causes this to happen. I removed the plastic screw piece and the lamp works fine, holds several beers at a time, and now that it works the wife likes it too. I hope she doesn't try to move it because the glass shade will fall off, lol.

This is a great cheap lamp. Of course it is cheap so don't expect quality. It was easy to put together, I personally didn't need the directions for most of it, and it is very attractive. After about a year and a half I started experiencing the trouble with the light switch that many of the other reviewers mentioned. I used some pliers to turn it off and on for a few weeks as the cord is plugged in behind a heavy bookcase. Not very convenient. So I finally got it unplugged and took the top apart and replaced the socket the bulb inserts into. (like this one Turn Knob Lamp Socket) Annoying, but a simple fix. It will probably be fine now that is has a better quality piece there. Sad, but most likely true.

Arrived in a timely manner...Purchased it to replace one that was broke during a move...Perfect!!!

I bought this lamp over two years ago, and while it looked great and served its purpose, it just stopped working. I did experience the threading on the light switch causing difficulties turning it on, like one reviewer reported. I could get it to work after that still, but now it won't work at all. It's cheap enough to buy another I suppose, but I absolutely LOVE this lamp and don't want to buy it every 2-3yrs. If I knew then what I know now, I would have spent the money on a more quality lamp that looked just as nice but lasted a little longer.

Okay folks, this is my fourth and LAST floor lamp I buy from Target. Where do I start? The wire that runs through the lamp always get stressed during assembly and my last two broke. One came not working at all. After a couple of months all Target floor lamps break, whether it is the pole that holds up the lamp, or the on off switch. This particular beauty came broken right out of the box. One of the threads were stripped on the legs so the lamp kept falling over, after a modification with electrical tape, i got it working. Unfortunatley they package this stuff so crazy it is more hassle than it is worth to disassemble and return to Target. Please do yourself a favor, spend the extra money and go to a real lighting store.
