Tools and Hardware Reviews of Ariante Torchiere Designer Floor Lamp
Customer Review: Torchiere Floor Lamp
Summary: 3 Stars
CAREFUL!!! Lamp is what is to be expected at this bargain price. Except mine has sharp edges around the perimeter of the cup at the top of the pole, that holds the white bowl shaped reflector. I suggest wearing a pair of work gloves, when reaching in to the box to remove the parts, and for the assembly. I sliced my thumb and a finger during the aforementioned procedures.Customer Review: What a surprise!

Summary: 5 Stars
I 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!!
Customer Review: You Get What You Pay For
Summary: 3 Stars
This lamp was priced at a steal, and it looks a little cheap. However, it lights up a room well, and for what I paid for it, I'm very happy with the purchase. You will be too if you don't go into it thinking you're getting something that can pass for any kind of elegant.Customer Review: You get what you pay for

These lamps are not really for anyone who is looking for quality aesthetics. As some of the bad reviews state, the following down-sides are important to note:
- The lamp bowl is cheap plastic and you should be grateful if they're symmetrical. In addition, the trim is not attached with glue or anything, so it comes off fairly easily and it doesn't quite go all the way around the bowl
- The lamp is short. If you're over 6' you'll be able to see into it without difficulty.
- The base is not quite as heavy as I would like to insure stability, but I haven't had any real problems. But if you have children or dogs, this might be an issue.
Having said that, if all you need is illumination without a serious desire for aesthetics or quality, then these seem like the lamps to get:
- It takes a 3-way bulb up to 100 watts
- It assembles fairly easily
- It seems reliable enough to do its primary job: provide light
Given the price of (currently) under $13, if illumination is all you need or care about, then I recommend the lamp.
