I couldn't tell from the photo, but the base is actually three parts that screw together. Only thing is, they don't screw together tightly, so the lamp leans quite a bit and doesn't stay straight. I would have returned it, but the styrofoam was in pieces and it was impossible to repackage. I'd like to try to super-glue the pieces in the base, but I'm afraid it'll stay in the leaning position.

I was looking for some inexpensive floor lamps since our new house did not have many built in fixtures. We have modern furniture - such as Room & Board, and this lamp looked like it'd fit right in. I did not have any of the problems with it leaning as one of the other reviewers noted. The fit and finish was generally pretty good for this price. Sure there are aspects that on close inspection could have been better but mostly I perceive this lamp from at least 3-4 feet away, and wouldn't be looking at the details of the construction of the bauble that holds the shade down, for example. I liked the pull string switches for the individual lights, they felt sturdy. The base is very solid and the lamp doesn't move when you switch it on and off. I am very happy with this item so far.

We were initially hesitant to buy this lamp due to the earlier review but decided to look for other reviews elsewhere and we found some good recent ones. We took a chance on one lamp first. It arrived quickly and it was well packaged. The pole that attaches the socket cluster to the base does come in 3 parts but they screwed together very well. The base is also very sturdy. The shade is quite wide lending a very modern feel. We loved the first lamp and went ahead and ordered a second. The lamps now stand beside our TV in the family room and they illuminate the room very well. Definitely a good buy!

I was a bit skeptical when I got the lamp as the packaging was quite cheap and I just got that vibe something was going to be off. Turns out the lamp looks great and provides plenty of light for my office with no ceiling fixture. During my search I had picked models several times the cost and glad I stumbled upon this as it fits the bill perfectly.

I ordered this lamp with a bit of hesitation, based on the other reviews. The only complaint I have is that the packaging doesn't do enough to protect the lampshade, which arrived with a couple of dents. I was able to push them out, and they were near the seam, which I planned to cheat to the wall anyway, but still, there needs to be more packing material around the shade to protect it en route. These boxes get thrown around. Damage will happen.

As for the base not fitting together as others have claimed, I had no problems. Perhaps they didn't get the threads started properly to begin with, but my base screwed together just fine and screwed together tightly enough that I can hardly see where the three pieces join each other.

It's a great-looking lamp. The price was right. And with the capacity for two 100-watt bulbs, this baby throws off a lot of light. Recommended, for sure.

I had the same issue the other buyer did. I was not able to get this lamp pole to stand straight no matter what I did. Although a great looking product, since I can't get it to stand straight, it looks terrible assembled.
