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.
