Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ariante Torchiere Designer Floor Lamp

Customer Review: Not bad for the price
Summary: 3 Stars

I bought one of these and had one of the metal solder points break off the socket as I was screwing the light bulb in. This apparently caused pretty good short, as it tripped the breaker for that whole room. It's not that upsetting though... it's about what I would expect for a $13 lamp. I honestly think these are decent for the price... just be careful with them: they are pretty fragile.

Customer Review: Not what they advertize but its ok
Summary: 3 Stars

The box was smashed when I got it. The gold rim around the plastic top was off.... this is not a bronze lamp it is BLACK. For 7.00 dollars its ok

Customer Review: Ordered this 3 years ago, about to order more!
Summary: 5 Stars

I originally ordered 2 of these lamps 3 years ago. And today they are both going strong. They started off in a bedroom as and then are now sitting in my living room the sole source of light. I have moved with them 3 times to 3 different apartments and now they are in my forever home. The shades are a bright white and diffuse the light bulbs very nicely without burning your eyes. The stalks and base are very solid and although they arent heavy, they balance out the lamp so when you hit it, it doesnt immediately fall over. I like that the switch to turn the lamps on are not that cheap plastic, but are heavy brass metal and is very solid feeling in your hand. I bought them for twelve bucks each back then and was shocked to see they are still available on amazon even now years later. About to buy 2 more!

Customer Review: Outstanding value
Summary: 5 Stars

For less than $7, this lamp is an outstanding value. It's only slightly lower in quality than one I bought for five times as much.

Three good qualities: (1) The base and the lamp pole are extremely stable -- better than many lamps of this type. (2) The lamp will accept either standard or fluorescent light bulbs (those with a standard-bulb base), although some fluorescent bulbs will show over the top of the shade. (3) The plastic shade is thick enough to hide the bulb itself but thin enough to allow plenty of light to shine through; this lamp is therefore brighter than those that simply bounce light off the ceiling.

One bad quality: The plastic shade is just a tiny bit uneven on top, but that's not even noticeable unless you're looking very closely.

I have no idea how they can sell this lamp at such a low price, unless it's made by Oompah Loompahs.
