Bordeaux Traditional Torchiere Floor Lamp (Set of 2)

I was looking for a good way to have indirect, but effective lighting in our living/dining room. Although I only wanted one light originally, I'm am please with the set for they really fill the fill area (24x15) with better light since we have limited table lighting and only a small area of overhead lights.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Slightly lighter
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Overall, well made, but do not care for the way the electrical cord comes through the pole, rather than the base.
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Fairly accurate.

They look very nice in the living room. The style is more 90's but the sturdy construction and the colors make it very nice.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? About the same
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Seem very sturdy ... even if plastic
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good

These lamps are nice for the price. They were easy to assemble and feel substantial and sturdy. The shades were a bit larger than I'd anticipated, but they are glass and of nice quality. The only reason I am not giving these five stars is that the base and the top are plastic and I would have preferred metal. All in all, though, I am satisfied with this purchase. And, as always, I am very pleased with Overstock.

The first thing to note about these lamps is that they come in the cheapest styrofoam imaginable—in the few hours it was on my porch before I got home from work, some of the styrofoam liquified and is now permanently glued to the power cord. Furthermore, if you so much as touch the styrofoam it will half-crumble and you'll be left with styrofoam on your hands… and more styrofoam that will cling to everything else in sight. - - - - - The lamps themselves are decent. The torchiere style seems to be a poor combination with CFL bulbs because they tend to project light out rather than up; the frosted glass, while pretty, ends up absorbing most of the light, so you really need both lamps to light a single room, and even that is imperfect and dim. However, the base of the lamps doesn't seem to be weighted evenly, so they stand crooked on carpet. It would probably be fine on hardwood or similar, but it takes some careful balancing work to get them to stand up straight on my carpet. My wife doesn't seem to mind, but the crooked lampposts drive me nuts.
