Story Behind the Art:
Artisans Orlando Paez and Mari Del Pilar Martinez create these beautiful lamps out of Raquira, Colombia. Guadua is a strong and resistant natural material from Quindio. The Guadua must be cut once a month before five in the morning in the waning moon, because that's when the water inside goes to the bottom and it's at its driest point. The fabric has been chosen for its flexibility, durability, non-shrinkage and easiness to wash, as well as the pyramid shape being a symbol for universal energy. There are 30 total artisans that help create these lamps.
With the money collected from the Worldstock orders Orlando has been able to send his daughter to school to continue her studies as well as English courses.

Sioux Lamp
This lamp is very unique, a great conversation piece, looks very stylish and nicely lights the area it is in. I have received alot of compliments from everyone on this. Although great looking, there are a few things that I did not like about the product. When you first open the box, there is a very very strong smoky smell coming from the wood. This starts to diminish after a few weeks, but is not very pleasant. Also, be careful putting it together as the stain used on the wood can easily rub off onto the fabric shade. The first lamp I received had a bad electrical cord, but Overstock was just great and took it right back, the second one worked just fine. The lamp is a little pricey, but I would definately recommend it.

I shop on Overstock.com all the time, and I must say that when I saw this lamp I was amazed by it and skeptical and the same time. I ordered it anyway because I am an artist and I love unique things. Once it arrived I fell in love with it and the craftsmanship. It was easy to put up, my husband and I put it up in no time and really the instructions were not needed, the lamp itself was explanatory. There were no smears of the wood or an odor. I would highly recommend this item to anyone who is interested in unique things.

I look for unique lamps and this one tops them all. The lighting is just perfect to offset the room.I chuckled when I saw the rudimentary "how to" instructions, but once you read them, it was easy to put together. Though i was afraid at first to stretch the wood - I can see now how strong it really is.....still be gentle but don't be afraid to stretch it a bit. This lamp is absolutely a beautiful accessory.

Nice Lamp
Overall very pleased with this lamp. Assembly directions are pretty much useless, but once you throw them away it gets much simpler. You also will want to use no more than a 40 watt bulb for the best lighting appearance.

Nice looking lamp
I liked the lamp when I saw it on overstock. i bought it, and it came just 2 days later. it's a little tricky to assemble. you have to make sure that the seams of the fabric match up to the wood and the X. As a previous reviewer suggested, i purchased the Philips DuraMax bulbs, and it works perfectly. The only downside to this lamp is that i can't find a table lamp that will match or compliment it. if anyone knows of such a lamp, please let me know!

Excellent conversation piece.
This is one of my favorite purchases as it not only is a source of the subdued lighting in my living room that I wanted, but it never fails to be the object of inquiry and conversation when people see it in my home for the first time because it is so beautifully designed.

Interesting Light - But definitely hand made
When we received the lamp, it had a musty smell, but I guess that's because it is made from untreated wood. I love the design and it gives off a nice low light. My only complaint is that the lamp "shade" (the white fabric inserts) were extremely tight and soiled in spots. However, I guess when you're working with actual hand made products and not mass produced ones, the quality will vary. I still love the lamp and it's definitely different than anything I've seen anywhere else.

Terrific once you get it together!
My lamp had some sort of residue on it that left a mark on my NEW carpet which I wasn't pleased about. I had no idea it was going to be dirty coming out of the box -- it was only on part of the exterior which is why I didn't realize the residue was on there at first (and thus laid it on its side on the carpet - boo). This stuff ended up on the lamp shade pieces as well (towards the center of each shade), BUT, once I got the thing together (read other reviews to see how difficult getting the lamp shades to each "leg") I really liked the way it looked! With the light on and the lamp turned so that the residue on the shades is facing the wall, it looks quite terrific!

Pleased...
It's natural design and build make it a real one of a kind and a nice addition to our sitting area. Even with the measurements on the listing one of the photos shown had it "about a foot taller" than it's creator. Since it is about a half-foot below 6-foot tall I will be adding a "decorative piece" to the bulb mounting screw that is visible. Other reviews noted an order? Not on mine. Set up and ready in just about 10 minutes.

- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Overall, and since it's "vegetable steel" (Guadua) it should last a long, long time.

- How accurate was the sizing? Correct. (except one photo shown at it taller than the gentleman beside it and larger overall...
