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.

This lamp only takes narrow-base, candelabra-type bulbs, not standard bulbs as stated in the description. I am so disappointed. I had planned to use dimmable, daylight-spectrum, compact fluorescent bulbs to provide a large amount of white light. That is now out of the question and I have to repack a very heavy, bulky item for return, which won't be easy considering the cardboard box was already in bad shape upon arrival.

Best Deals for 5 Armed Arch Floor Lamp

I was really excited to find this lamp on Amazon at such a great price. I found a similar lamp at a local furniture store for about $250.00 so this was half the price. I received my lamp today in the mail and I am sad to say the quality did not meet my expectations.

The lamp was poorly packaged and my lamp has small areas of paint chips, and scrapes, and the paint is cracking on the top of the unit. Actually it looks rather used. Assembly is also a pain. I suggest working over a bed and letting the unit drape over the top of your bed. Then stand on your bed when you want to put in the light bulbs because the light is so tall.

Functionally the lamp works great, there are five small bulbs but they put off a lot of light, and the dimmer is nice to have. I am going to keep the lamp and try to touch up some of the areas missing paint, mostly because I do not want to have to take it apart and ship it back to Amazon. It is a cool design, very trendy and it works well in my living room.

Honest reviews on 5 Armed Arch Floor Lamp

I ordered this product to replace an existing lamp that I had in my living room that recently broke. Since they no longer made the lamp that I had, I searched for something that seemed reasonably close and would illuminate what is normally a very dark room. Unfortunately the descripton of this light is very misleading. I thought that the arms would bend or flex but they do not and I was concerned that if I forced them I would break it and be unable to return it. This lamp is described as 84" inches (7 ft) but I can tell you it is not; I have a 7 ft Christmas tree and even with a 12 inch angel on top, I still have clearance to the ceiling which is why I thought this lamp would work but it does not. The light vents at the top of each arm rest against my living room ceiling and they will either cause damage to the ceiling over time or even worse could potentially cause a fire. I e-mailed the seller (OJ Commerce) to find out about returning this item and they are the worst company I have ever had to deal with. The cost of the lamp with shipping was $126.97($6.97 ground). When I inquired with UPS what it would cost to return it, I was told $159.00 (not happening). I contacted the seller and I asked for their help and this is what they "so generously" offered me: $40.00 UPS shipping back to them and 30% restocking fee to be deducted from any refund I would be entitled to. Basically they get the light back and 80% of my money. I am so furious that I contacted Amazon to assist me with resolution. So far they have been very supportive but this vendor is not even responding to their inquiries on my behalf. In addition to the actions I have taken with Amazon, I am also turning this company into the Better Business Bureau. Unfortunately I cannot give this lamp anything other than a poor rating because it is unusable. I would caution anyone contemplating purchasing this light to rethink your options even if you choose to use another supplier because the sheer size of it will cost you a fortune if you need to return it for any reason. I cannot even sell it independently on Amazon because of the outrageous shipping costs. UPDATE 2/25/13 I am still trying to get my money back from this vendor from an order that was placed and received in November and returned the beginning of January. I restate what I have mentioned above: STAY AWAY FROM OJ COMMERCE, THEY ARE DISHONEST AND WILL JERK CUSTOMERS AROUND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH AN ORDER.

I ordered the White 5 arm arch floor lamp with Amazon free shipping option on Sunday night and received it Tuesday afternoon. love buying from Amazon! This is a lamp quite easy to assembly but need 2 people to hold the rod and arms. Someone complaints this is too heavy to assembly but definitely i see it as a plus for the build. Love this lamp. I recommend it. besides, every website states that the light bulbs are not included which is not true. 5-40 watts bulbs are nicely placed inside the shipment. You can use the lamp right after setting it up.
