I bought the black, tall shoji lamp. It is just as pictured and we like it a lot. It takes two, regular, low-wattage bulbs and gives off a lot of ambient light. At first I thought it was too bright, but now I've grown to like it. It is quite delicate because the rice paper could easily be damaged. However, I put it against the wall and as long as no one is bumping or touching it a lot, it will be fine. It's very stable. The cord comes out the bottom and is highly visible. The cord has a round, step on switch that is very useful. The only thing that could make it better would be if the step on switch had a tiny night light on it so you could find it easier in the dark. And if the cord was hidden better. Overall, it's a very cool lamp and I'm happy with my purchase.

This a beautiful lamp, very easy to assemble, and gives off a nice glow. We put the lamps in our acupuncture clinic, and have received many compliments on them. They were packaged securely and there are no flaws on them. I would buy more but the honey color is gone!

I love this lamp. It is very easy to put together and gives off a very nice light. It not like other floor lamps you see and is sturdy and expensive looking. It looks great with my baby grand piano and antique furniture. It would fit in many types of decor.

The lamp makes a great addition to the massage room, where I need "mood" lighting. I chose the dark brown color because I thought it would look more expensive, and I'm sure that was the right decision. I might get another for the living room.

Bought this tall one and the smaller matching lamp-- put them together in a corner of our zen/modern asian bedroom and VA-VA-VA-VOOM!!!! Instant ambiance and very impressive. Ours has two 60 watt bulbs inside and provides soft, glowing light that illuminates easily by pressing on the foot pedal. So great that you don't have to bend down or reach behind to switch it on/off. This is a great way to lighten up a dark corner or make a style statement

This lamp was not difficult to put together by one person. It looks great and is well built. Although the wood "cross pieces" are thin (as they should be), the product arrived in perfect condition. No tools are required. I would recommend using the lowest wattage bulb possible, I use 15 watts, since it is real paper and higher wattage bulbs are not needed. A beautiful addition to many decors...doesn't need to be asian decor.

These lamps provide a contemporary source of lighting in dark corners of our living room. I am very pleased with the outcome. The instructions re: type of light bulb were conflicting, however. The online instructions indicated 60 watt standard light bulb; the fixture itself says 25 watt or less, type B. In fact, it requires a regular type bulb, low-wattage. The low-wattage is necessary so as not to burn the rice paper shade. It took us a few trips to the store to finally get the correct bulbs. By using an energy efficient fluoro bulb, you can avoid the heat issue related to higher wattage bulbs.

One of the support beams broke off while I was assumbling it. Fortunately, I was able to glue it back on. Also, be careful not to tighten the screws too tight. The wood is quite soft and the screws easily strip the grooves.

This lamp is very impressive looking and looks great in my living room. However, it is a bit cumbersome and awkward to install the light fixtures and light bulbs inside of the lamp. Also one of the screws in the bottom of the lamp came lose and I had to glue it back in. Once the lights are in place, one of them sits way too close for comfort to the rice paper and no matter which way you adjust the light, it is always too close. Regarding the finish, which I have the rosewood finish, it is beautiful, but when I placed the lamp in the corner, some small chips of finished wood flaked off leaving bare unfinished wood showing through. I made sure to make sure those chipped sides were facing the wall. That was aggravating. So although this lamp is beautiful, it is not of the upmost quality and is very delicate. As long as I do not move the lamp around too much, it shouldn't chip much and should maintain its beauty.

I love my floor lamp. I wish they had some more finishes available on this site. I really wanted the honey finish, but the natural was the only one I could get here. I order from overstock because the shipping is cheap and the customer service is excellent. I am going to cut a panel to fit to hide the wires at the bottom.

I ordered one lamp and was delighted that it came carefully packaged. It was easy to put together and I loved the way it looked, so I ordered another one. Everybody who comes to the house loves the way they look in our family room. The write up says they take a 60 watt bulb, but the really take 2 25 watt bulbs. I recommend the lamps highly if you are looking for a diffferent look in your lighting.
