Adesso Odyssey Tall Floor Lamp, Black Review

Adesso Odyssey Tall Floor Lamp, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After struggling a bit to put this together (pieces with wires through them don't really line up properly) you can imagine how frustrating it was when the on/off switch did not work at all. Pushing down on the button caused the lamps to light up but the button would not "hold" in the on position, instead popping right back to off. Added to the fact that it is not easy to locate 150 watt bulbs, and that since it took a while for me to get this all put together, so that when I finally returned it 30 days had past and I wasn't given a full refund and I am extremely unhappy with this entire transaction.
Also, while the top and base are definitely black the pieces the you put together to run from the base to the top were not really black as much as a dark pewter color. From a distance they looked dark but up close look more silver. I have no idea how they look with the light on since I couldn't make the light work.

I had been looking for a long time for the perfect lamp. I'm so glad I found this one. It gives a lot of light, if you want, or just a glow if you want to set a mood.

Adesso Spotlight Floor Lamp, Steel Review

The lamp needs very minor assembly which is easily done, you don't even need instructions (a good thing since I didn't get any). I wanted a floor lamp that did not have the round flat disk base that most floor lamps rest on because I'm sick of that look. So this one is at least different with its tripod legs and it is handy to move near a project needing extra light. The height of the lamp is adjustable, it's very versatile. I like that I can aim the beam at a wall to get indirect lighting in a room. But for the price, and I realize there are lamps out there costing waaaaaaaaay more than this one, but for around $75 I expected something better than what I got. I have a desk lamp that I bought many years ago at Walmart for about ten bucks and the quality far exceeds that of this floor lamp. It works and all that but it just has a sort of flimsy, cheap feel to it. The on/off knob feels flimsy as do the knobs that loosen and tighten to hold the shade at the desired angle. First try and the knobs won't turn enough, more force and you ge them loose, then to tighten you turn them, they feel tight, let go of the shade and it falls forward so more force on the cheap knobs and it stays put. If I had found this at Dollar General for ten dollars I'd be raving about it, even if I had paid $20 and I'd be happy. But no way is this lamp worth $75. Still, I'm keeping it. Update: I did discover that there was a bolt loose inside the shade and by tightening it the shade stays put better when I re-aim it.

Ore International 5 Arm Arch Floor Lamp - Black Review

Ore International 5 Arm Arch Floor Lamp - Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this lamp to replace a similar styled but smaller lamp behind my sectional sofa. The old lamp was the type that screwed together in several sections and tended to fall over as the threads were stripping out. I mention this because this lamp consisted of three pieces - the base, the bottom section, and the top section. The lamp assembled securely and I am confident that this will last - unlike the other reviewer I did not have any issue with the spot welds and do not recollect them at all (The lamp is behind the couch - I don't look at the base much).
The biggest complaint that I have with this lamp is that it does not use traditional light bulbs, so I cannot put in the CFL bulbs that I removed from the old lamp. This lamp uses the smaller base bulbs (I don't know what they are called) and does come with all five bulbs. When I first put the lamp together I was concerned that the 5 40-watt bulbs would not put out adequate light, but I am pleased to say that the lamp is pretty bright and I usually turn the dimmer-style switch to about half way as it is enough light.
I would certainly purchase this again.

Normande Lighting JS1-111 Trac Tree Lamp Black (Not CA Compliant) Review

Basically it's just about what I expected, but better. The stand comes in three pieces that screw right into each other. It's fast and easy to set up and looks seamless when completed. It's better than I expected because it is well made and substantial. I was expecting something a little more flimsy for the price. I'm writing this review because I have benefited from other people review of various products.
