Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Adesso Aries Torchiere, Black
Customer Review: Surprisingly attractive for an inexpensive plastic torchiere
Summary: 4 Stars
This is surprisingly attractive for an inexpensive plastic torchiere. I bought this floor lamp because I have large dogs and didn't want to risk them knocking over a lamp with a glass shade. I like the modern look of this lamp and it's a good value. My only hesitation in giving it five stars is that after about two years of use the shade has become very slightly misshapen. I would recommend it for the office, a bedroom, etc. It gives off light on two settings, one quite strong. The bright light is very helpful for doing tasks in an otherwise somewhat dark room, like folding laundry.Customer Review: Pleasant addition to the living room
Summary: 4 Stars
I was hesitant about buying a sub-$10 equivalent from walmart when I got these (I have 2 from walmart and 2 of these). They are much better quality and much more sturdier. It blends in with different living/family room colors, and it even looks great in the basement!Customer Review: Great light
Summary: 4 Stars
I found this lamp easy to assemble and with the (2) 150 watt fluorescent blubs it provides very good lighting in my living room where it is my sole source of light.Customer Review: As Expected
Summary: 3 Stars
It is what it appears. The white shade is cheap translucent plastic so I don't think I'd be putting any 150 watt incandescent bulbs in it for fear it would warp the shade (or whatever you call that white part).
The switch does indeed have two settings, but it would have been nicer to have it light one, both or neither bulb. Instead it lights both bulbs halfway or full power. So, if used with CFLs, they will probably meet with a premature end (unless designed for dimmers).
Other than that, it is a nice looking light. If it comes up in a lightning deal for $40 like when I bought it, I think it's a worthwhile investment.
I am pleased with this purchase.
Customer Review: Poor Connections
Summary: 2 Stars
While the lamp works, when I followed directions to put the post together, the connection between the bottom and center posts would not screw together correctly. It would not go together smoothly or straight. The lamp now has an angle and you can see the threads. The other connections all went smoothly.
