Perfect mid-century lamp for that dark corner. The included bulbs provide a very pleasant level of warm light. The lamp is easy to put together, especially once you get the knack of attaching the two halves of the shade to each other. Looks great, and a good deal.

This is a good lamp for what it is. It reminds of a lamp I was looking at at Crate & Barrel, with the main differences being (1) this one is $200 cheaper; (2) this one is a little smaller (I view this as a good thing -- it's still plenty big and I don't want a massive lamp), and (3) this one has seams down the side and you have to put it together. I don't view the latter things as that bad, so long as you are aware of them. The seams to me do not look awful, especially when the lamp is near a corner (meaning both seams are often hidden from view). Even when they are not hidden, it's like oh well, lots of lamps have seams. Putting the thing together took 25-30 mins (not bad). It's worth being careful/reading the directions through first so as to not screw stuff up. Overall, it's a pretty classy lamp that (with the warm-color light bulbs that are included) gives off a soft, warm ambient light. I like the vibe and the column/tower-of-light look is cool. Note that it is not bright enough to light a whole room by itself (I use it as one of several lamps in a pretty big 18x18 room in my apartment -- and in that space with help, it does the job well). I'm pleased that I got something this classy for less than $100 and I think it's a good buy.

This is a great floor lamp for adding soft light to any space. I have it in the corner of my (windowless) office as a supplement to the overhead light, making the room's lighting more diffuse and less harsh. It looks great and works perfectly. My one quibble is with the installation process. Is it easy? Yes, if you're OK with a few dents and a little tilting. The trouble is that, because the shade material isn't rigid, it doesn't want to straighten out into a perfect cylinder; it wants to bend. And even if you manage to smooth out all the indentations, you'll be left with a Leaning Tower of Lamp, as there's nothing holding the cylinder in a vertical position—it wants to tilt (slightly) to one side or the other. Getting the lamp into the perfectly-assembled state that you see in the photos may be possible, but it's likely to require hours of frustrating re-attempts.

I was looking for an attractive mid-height floor lamp with a sturdy base. Traditional pedestal floor lamps seem to knock over easily. This lamp exceeded my expectations. It requires very little floor space, and I now have two in my living room. This arrived well packaged and was easy to assemble. The 40 watt light bulbs, which are included, shed a soft glow. For more light, switch out the 40 watt bulbs for 60 watts. The design is beautiful and fits in well with my furniture.

THe Brightech Parker decorative tower shade floor lamp looks great, overall. The fabric lamp shade comes in two pieces, with Velcro along the full length of both sides of each panel. This creates two visible seams when assembled; I'd prefer that this only had one seam, so you could place it in the back. The unit has two bulbs, which create two 'hot spots' inside the shade. I would prefer an LED light strip or set of light strips that would provide even lighting from top to bottom. The power cord has a foot switch that doesn't always work consistently, but does most of the time. For the price, this is a pretty good value. With a few improvements, this would be a great deal! UPDATE: I just spent the better part of 2 hours trying to fix the shade on this lamp. The glue on the velcro became tacky and failed. So, I pulled out all of the stitching that holds the velcro to the plastic, and tried sewing the two halves back together. Really annoying, especially for a lamp that's less than 2 years old. CAN NO LONGER RECOMMEND. Too bad, as it looked cool!

It's fine, nice even! The base is actual wood, the shade is a nice color, and diffuses light nicely. But for ninety American dollars, could I at least get both strips of velcro sewn onto the shade halves? Why would you only sew one on, then glue the opposite one? It's like only putting one leg of your pants on and calling that good. All three lamps had the shades fail after a few weeks of 80 degree temperatures.

It looks good, but build quality is pretty poor. I can’t even get the middle tube to attach to the top of the shade, it’s literally an inch too short

Love it. Very good quality. easy to install.
