Nice lamp arrived damaged
Date:October 3, 2012
"This is a very nice looking lamp; unfortunately it arrived at our home with not just one ding, but two large dings/dents in the base. Because of the costs associated with sending it back, we decided to just keep it but I wouldn't recommend buying it unless you are okay with dings or willing to deal with the hassle of trading it out."

GREAT LAMP - GREAT PRICE!!
Date:August 28, 2011
"I was hesitant about buying this lamp after reading earlier reviews. Glad I bought it, it's just what I was looking for. Assembly was not difficult, you must just take your time since the pole pieces do have very fine threads and you must be careful not to cross thread. I did remove the small screw underneath the head swivel shaft which allowed the lamp head to swivel all the way down so that it was parallel with the floor. The picture in the catalog is what I achieved. Lamp is about $35 cheaper here than other on-line stores. Well worth the money!"

Off With its Head
Date:April 8, 2011
"The lamp was beautiful to behold. Had heft like a quality product, but...I accidently twisted its little head off the first time I tried to adjust it. The aluminum shafting of the staff kept trying to cross-thread on two out of three joints and did not tighten properly. I attempted to adjust the head and when it did not, disassembled the tightening adjustment. After reassembling, I decided that I had not been firm enough. The neck wallered out and fell instead of adjusting. I think it was put together too wet with the finish and it all stuck together. I attempted to return the lamp in its original box which had to be modified to fit the broken-necked lamp. Home decorators were wonderful to work with. I can say that I don't recommend the lamp unless you are very, very careful, but I do recommend Home Decorators. I've been a long time customer and how they handled this one will keep me loyal."

Piece of junk, shame on you
Date:March 20, 2011
"Poor overall construction. Assembly difficult because the threading of the sections is crude and inadequate. When assembled, alignment is such that the vertical element is crooked. The switch knob cover immediately fell off and will not reattach. Adjustment locking lever mechanisms are of inferior design and construction."

Waste of Time
Date:March 15, 2011
"I purchased this lamp twice and returned it both times for the same problem. The lamp shade was detached from the top rod assembly and would not screw back on. the threads were either stripped or there were too few threads to get a good bite and connect. The only good thing about the lamp was it's appearance. The good point was how well Home Decorators customer service worked with me. They are excellent."

Great deal
Date:March 10, 2011
"I purchased this for a reading light for my husband's chair. He complains about everything but loved this light. He took credit for buying it!!! It is a quality floor lamp, looks very expensive, and was put together perfectly in less than 5 minutes. I am so glad that we (I) bought this."

Poor Paint Job
Date:February 21, 2011
"The lamp arrived with three defective areas in the paint. Don't know if a problem at the factory or when being prepared for shipping. When I attempted to touch up these areas with a soft-tipped marking pen, the paint kept flaking off even more. Had to just "dot" the area very lightly to get any coverage without causing even more damage. Can't believe the paint came off that easily. Wonder what will happen when I dust it."

Not so hot
Date:November 2, 2010
"It may be a great lamp if I could put it together.
The bottom part of the lamp went together well, it's the lamp head, the knob that holds the the lamp in place came on screwed and it's impossiable to get it back together. the rod in the middle with threads on both ends seems to short can't get the nut to catch. Will more than likley return. Not looking forward to postage cost.
I was so looking forward to enjoying this product and using your company again, it has not turned out as I expected. Thanks and have a great day.

Great Lamp!
Date:March 17, 2010
"We are very happy with this floor lamp. It has a very classic design style which is just what we were looking for. We were also very happy with the price as it was much less than similar lamps from other companies. The quality is very good, it does not feel cheap at all and it looks great in our family room."

Wonderful Value
Date:December 15, 2009
"I have purchased floor lamps in a box before, so I was concerned this might be the same light weight, come apart at the connection points, type of lamp. Not So, this is a very heavy lamp, the connection points screw together, and it is easy to pivot the lamp arm to give light were needed. I love it!"
