Tiffany-style Roma Torchiere Lamp

Rating

I was plesantly surprise at the craftsmanship on this product. Unless you tap the lamp you would never know it was basically plastic instead of glass. The colors are beautiful when lighted or turned off. Can't tell this one from the real Tiffany lamps I have, GREAT product, highly recommend this one.

I really love this lamp - beautiful workmanship, lovely glasswork, beautiful bright lighting, a bargain for the price. UNFORTUNATELY, the foot pedal switch on my unit is defective. It ceased working after a mere 2 days. (The light only stays on as long as you apply pressure to the button - as soon as you let go, the light turns off.) I have hired a handyman to come over and change out the switch for something more reliable. So, while I think the item is fully worth what I paid for it, I guess I also have to consider the $25 it is going to cost me to actually make it WORK.

Once out of the box, the first thing that surprised me was the size of the glass portion of the lamp and the weight of the base--the lamp is bigger than expected; but that's a good thing, and the base's weight is super sturdy, giving an appearance that the lamp's value is much higher than what I paid for it. The colors are deep and vibrant once the light is turned on and this casts a warm sheen on the entire room. It looks just like the picture, except that the bronze base is a slightly warmer brown.I wasn't sure how I would like the foot petal to turn the lamp off and on, but having used it for about a month, it's great. It's hands-free and I can always find it even in the dark to turn the light on. Plus, I've had several non-Tiffany floor lamps in my lifetime whose off/on switch located near the top of the lamp eventually broke from one too many turns, rendering the lamp useless or unpredictable. So, the foot petal is a nice option. Alternatively, I have another one of these lamps set up to work with a wall switch, so the foot petal isn't used on that one, and it works well, too. Either way, it's a good lamp and is a fraction of what other stores charge for Tiffany replicas.It takes about 10 minutes to assemble all parts; you'll need a screwdriver. Hint: Make sure that you screw each of the screws in not fully one at a time, but with a few staggered turns on each screw evenly to ensure that the top lamp portion and base are connected evenly all the way around. I bought another similar style lamp and made that mistake on that one. It's not tragic to be a little uneven, but up to close scrutiny it can show. [I turn the slightly uneven portion (0.33 inch) towards the wall on that one; you can't see it].Since this purchase I've bought two more of these style lamps in different colors/patterns and highly recommend them. They're high quality, relatively easy to set up, and add a nice warm touch of colorful light in any room that you put them in.The only complaint I have is the packaging itself. The brand of Styrofoam used to pack the lamp comes with a lot of small white fluffy parts that get everywhere! So you'll need a vacuum cleaner.

I thought this lamp was nice looking, but it just didn't quite fit in with my room decor. I tried to love it, but there was just something about it that made me think the price wasn't quite worth having spent on it...so I sent it back. It was pretty easy to assemble and seemed heavy enough. I know others commented about the foot pedal switch being a great feature, but I would've preferred a switch on the pole instead. Nice looking lamp overall, but not stunning.
