Be very wary. Furniture Creations, also selling on Amazon as Click2GO and High Performance Parts is cutting and pasting the pictures from Coaster and passing them off as of the product they are selling.
Their lamp only vaguely resembles the Coaster and the mid-century piece on which Coaster's lamp is modeled.
(1) The rod and its screw are too small for the base, which has extra random holes in it for some reason -perhaps its original purpose? So, the lamp tips (see my pictures).
(2) Instead of curving at 90 degrees, the upper rod is almost 180 degrees, that is straight up.
(3) The lamp shade, stuck on a rod that does not have the proper curve does not adjust, so the light is directly in a standing person's eyes rather than focusing downward as it should (and is pictured).
(4) I should have known when i saw the packaging : random boxes with their old labels partially torn off taped together.
I complained to them and they gave me a crazy run-around, saying variously they didn't have my order number, and that I had bought it from Click2Go rather than their parts front. Also, they don't have websites for any of these so-callled stores and use cell phones to take calls.

Great quality and stability, but it requires a lot of space....at least 8 foot high ceilings and seven feet width.Best Deals for Coaster Contemporary Metal Floor Lamp
My lamp came today and I'm very happy with it. Looks great, easy to assemble, was packaged very well. Perfect size for my room, I was worried because of my 8 foot ceiling but the high point of the arc is just over 7 feet and you have a 5 foot span to walk under it. Takes up to 150w bulb, has a foot activated switch and a swivel head. They sent along a 10% off next purchase coupon but it expired last year.Honest reviews on Coaster Contemporary Metal Floor Lamp
That's what my wife screamed after I assembled it. That's a lot coming from her because she is usually very picky about this type of thing. And I agree with her. They took special care to pack it well so none of the parts was broken or damaged during the shipping. I was especially happy that the marble base was in one piece. Note that the lamp shade is much bigger than it looks in the picture. But it's well made and looks very elegant. The base is very heavy for a good reason which is to support the weight of arching branch, lamp shade, and the light bulb, and it does a good job at that. You can use standard size light bulb, which was not included in the box. The lamp shade has the hinge that can be adjusted in various angle so you can fine tune the angle/direction of light. The highest point of the arch is about 88 inches high from the floor, the lamp shade hangs around at 70 inches high, and the center of the shade extends ~60 inches from the center of the base. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with the instruction. But I also have to point out that it's not that difficult to figure it out yourself. It took me around 20 minutes to assemble it, and it looks fabulous illuminating my round dinner table! By the way, my cat must think it's the Sun. As soon as he saw it, he jumped up on the table right under the lamp head lying on his back with all legs stretched out as if he was getting a tan. This got me extra points from my wife for making the cat happy.Overall, with a little bit over $100, this is the best arch lamp you will find anywhere, and all of us (including cat) are extremely happy with it.
