Phoenix Spiral Torchiere Floor Lamp with Side Light

On the pro side lights up the room megawatt w/only (2) 100 watt bulbs. Also the reading lamp has 2 settings and is very bright for doing close up work like knitting The first setting is adequate for reading. It's not as easy to put together and the instructions are poor. Even tho the base is solid, it still wobbles because the poles are hollow and have to be screwed into each other and the base. The glass torchiere gives off an ambient light w/the one 100 watt, but the base to screw it into is flimsy and does not align completely w/the torchiere.. I bought it mainly for light and it does look elegant from a distance

Living through a dreary dark Seattle winter just became a lot more pleasant. TWO HUNDRED WATTS of light in the top of the lamp and 60 halogen on the little side lamp. It's a beautiful graceful lamp and for the size and height it is not overbearing or bulky. The base is nice and weighty so the lamp is stable even on carpet. The on/off switches are very conveniently located on the side of the lamp with both low and high settings for each switch. The top and side lamps turn on separately, of course. The finish on the satin brass is soft and beautiful. It took no time at all for the hubby to put together. I'm VERY pleased with this lamp. Good value - nice to look at and provides wonderful bright light.

Delivery took about 10 days. It was easy to put together, but needed 2 people as the two rods were put into the base. The rods continue to twist because the pointed screws do not have holes to enter but rely on pressure. In spite of using pliers with the included angle tool, I could not tighten them enough. I slid it across the floor to resist putting strain on the rods. The up-light can use up to 2 100W bulbs! Switches for up-light and halogen both give 2 light settings.

I had to get a replacement. firsrt one broken shade and the workmanship was terrible. Overstock shipped a replacement lamp which arrived faster than the original one. Replacement lamp also had poor craftsmanship and the shade was also broken. Both lamps were difficult to put together due to having to thread the wire and then turn the connectors to tighten. One didn't stand straight. These are the first things I had to ship back.
