I was impressed with the design, but once assembled (later on that), it was ugly. The design remained intact--stunning--,but the chrome finish was badly marred in areas. The lamp leaned, the top of the lamp seems to be too heavy for the pole or support of the shade. The assembly was worse of all, it took hours to assemble. Usually, after all the work put in to assembling the thing, I'd keep it. But not this time, all of the work should have yielded a better product. It's going back.

First off, if it takes you "hours" to assemble a lamp...you've got other issues.

The product took about 20 min to install. It took me a few minutes to figure out that I had to screw the lower pole onto the upper pole. but other than that, it was a simple install.

The lamp does NOT lean and the top is NOT too heavy for the pole if you tightly screw the nut on the bottom of the pole. If you don't screw that tightly, you will end up with a leaning lamp.

The quality was good enough for a $25 lamp. I didn't expect much since this was $25. If anything, this was better quality than Ikea. The base was very heavy and sturdy.

I really dont understand why the other 2 reviewers gave it such a low rating.
For $25, this is a great lamp.

I could not put the wires into the lamp pole and gave up the installation in the end. My husband put them together and I did not know how he did it. It does not look good in my living room and I am afraid it will fall apart someday......

Last week I bought this lamp from this same site for $17. At that price I can live with the fact that it is awkwardly shaped (WAY too wide). It looks good in the pic but is kind of frumpy in 3-D.

It leans when you first assemble it. I followed the directions explicity when assembling and it still leans. I plan to go back and fix this but unless you have time to fix something you bought new that isn't all that great anyway, take a pass on this one.

Both the floor and table versions of this lamp are of appallingly low quality. These were cheap, about 80% off list, and I still feel fleeced. I wasn't expecting much, I figured Ikea quality; works, looks good, 2nd rate materials. These were so much worse than I expected. I should have heeded the first reviewer's warning. As always, Amazon makes returns nearly effortless.

It is really surprising how low this lamp was rated. Ordered two and the quality exceeded my expectations. If you assemble it correctly it is as sturdy as any lamp I have ever purchased. Quality is similar to that of IKEA or Pier One, possibly even Crate & Barrel. Assembly is easy, I would recommend having a level handy, because the top arm was originally off a little bit on one of the lamps, but with a pair of pliers and a rag it was very easy to adjust. They look perfect and complement well any contemporary or modern furniture. Very satisfied.

The floor model of this lamp is quite functional and its minimal design would compliment any living space. The assembly took about 15 minutes, not hours if you know what you're doing. For the price of this lamp it is a complete steal and its aesthetics are great. The lamp adds a nice glow to the living room and the low and high setting is a nice touch. I didn't notice anything negative about the chrome nor any leaning, you just have to assemble it correctly and take your time. Overall I really enjoy the lamp and how it looks with the rest of my living room.

This product, once put together, is unstable, does not stand up correctly, and refuses to stand straight up. I threw it out the day after it arrived at my house. It seems like a deal, but it's only a waste of money and is poorly designed.

This is the second Swingstepz lamp we have ordered because we were so happy with the first one. The first one was $19.61. The list price was well over $100. By the time we ordered lamp #2, Amazon had reduced the price to $18.45. This one came damaged, but was promptly replaced by Amazon. The replacement came with a a soiled shade. We called the manufacturer and without hassle were sent a second one at no charge. The lamp is rated at 60 watts maximum. However,, with an energy efficient bulb using 60 watts, we are able to get 150 watts of light. Except for the no cost hassle of the return of the damaged lamp, we are very happy with both. They are very functional and fit in perfectly with our decor.

Nice lamp and quality...Shade came a little dirty. Extremely difficult to assemble correctly, the lamp sits forward leaning and instead of sharing a prominent space in my living room, now simply adorns the recording studio, aka basement.
