The floor lamp requires minimal assembly and measures 84 by 12-1/2 by 95 inches.

The lamp was an acceptable reproduction of the original. I am pleased with my purchase. Two problems: 1. The three step assembly instructions were incomplete, and especially useless regarding the electrical wiring hookup. 2. Amazon customer service has no link to the manufacturer or the distributor so access to spare or replacement parts is unavailable.

I think its an acceptable replica of the original from 1962. Too bad that the instructions are less then complete, so be prepared to spend a little time before the lamp is finally assembled.

The quality appears to be alright.The marble block is really heavy, the way it should be. I am a 6'4" man at 210#, and I am able to carry that block on my own. A little tiny woman will have no chance to move that thing a single inch. So make sure help is available.

Having grown up with an original in my house, I could tell as soon as I looked at the arced pole that this was a less-than-faithful reproduction. The most noticeable difference is that the arc is rounded on this one, with screw-in attachments, whereas on the original is is in more pieces, squared and generally more graceful-looking. This one's a little wonky. But it's nice-looking enough and I can't complain about having the extra $2,300.00 in my pocket.

The marble block, however, is very true to the original. And it is much heavier than Amazon says! It's well over 100 lbs -- I can lift 75, this is not 75. I had taken umbrage at the "tiny little woman" comment above --I lift weights!-- but I concede the point! : ) Fortunately, that hole in the middle is functional --it was made to put a pole through it so that two people can carry the marble. So, disassemble the box right inside your door and grab a strong pole and a partner to move the block.

One annoying thing is that the bolt that attaches the pole to the marble is so long that you can see it sticking out --quite a bit-- through the hole in the marble once the lamp is assembled. Fortunately, this is obscured by the fact that it's low. Not something people are going to notice immediately when walking into the room. But I'm hoping I can find a shorter screw to replace the one that comes with the lamp to get rid of this issue.

Bottom line, if you're looking to save money, it's a nice enough lamp. But if you're looking to fool people, don't get this reproduction. It's well made enough, but it's different.
