First, let me start by saying I was excited to receive this lamp. I thought it would be cool, hip, and look fabulous in my new living room. However, that excitement quickly turned to disappointment as I started to assemble it ... and yes, it was exactly according to the directions given. Not to mention, if you look at it the wrong way, it scratches very easily. Also, good luck trying to put the base on ... if you don't experience total frustration, I will be surprised. Also, if you haven't scratched it up thus far, you will now. Once I stood it up vertically, it looks nice but don't touch it unless you have to. It's very wobbly. Yey. Not worth the $150.00 but maybe just $.50. Ugh.

I bought two of these, and I will say up front that they are sturdy and gorgeous. The one complaint involves the assembly process. It is difficult to attach the legs to the base. My son and I tried for an hour, then gave up. I finished the next night with another person's help. There is some sort of washer that doesn't fit around the bolt as well as it should, and the nut is difficult to thread onto the bolt. Sounds like it should be easy, I know, but it took a while. Here's a tip -you'll have to hold the lamp upside down to even attempt to attach the base, hence the need for two people. Again -these are really nice lamps, just have a friend ready and willing to help you with assembly.

The finished product is sturdy, stylish and a good value. Getting there requires patience and fune-tuning. As a veteran of dozens of difficult builds (Scandinavian furniture to elliptical machines), I've seen it all. This is a pretty straight-forward assembly. It can almost be done without reading the instructions. The primary frustration comes with attaching the lower supports to the base. This requires a few minutes of adjusting rods within the supports. The length of these rods is accomplished by simple righty-tighty, lefty-loosey adjustments. More lefty-loosey is needed to get the rods to pass thru the base in order to attach the securing washers/nuts. That's a little time-consuming, but my main beef is if you're not careful, you'll scratch-up the base while tweaking the rods and trying to get them in the base. My suggestion is to put masking tape around the base holes until everything has been bolted together. Once assembled, this lamp looks really sharp.
Honest reviews on Kenroy Home 30817BRZ Emilio Floor Lamp, Bronze
I have to agree and disagree with the previous reviewer. Yes, this item takes a bit of work to put together and even after, I noticed that it wobbled. However, I recently went to work on it again and tightened a loose bolt in the base and it is better than ever. The lamp is solid and quite beautiful. I have both the floor and desk version and they look great. Be patient, tighten everything well and you'll be rewarded.

This lamp was not what I expected. Like all the reviews it was pain to put together(and I've assembled a lot of furniture), but after finally getting it done I didn't like it at all. It seemed top heavy and cheap. Also, it's BLACK not bronze as the description states. Going back immediately.
