Coaster Home Furnishings - Miriam - Metal Floor Lamp with 3 Lights, Arched Design and Crystal Beads - Living Room - 90-Inch - Chrome - 901484

Purpose: Christmas gift, replace an older similar lamp. Unfortunately, this was not the same style, but the same object, as the receiver of the lamp said. Pros: very easy to set up. So easy, even I was able to assemble it, and fairly quickly. I'm not very astute to putting things together, just isn't something I do easily, and yet I was able to assemble it within 15-30 minutes. Price was about $100. Bright. If course, the type of bulbs used makes a difference. Looks like an expensive lamp. Cons. The "shades" are plastic. Although once assembled, this is not a huge issue, as people don't know it's plastic or glass or crystal. Images make the shades look bigger than they really are. The lower set is only two rows of "crystals" lower. Knob. The power knob is not the easiest knob I've used to turn on/off. My friend is thrilled with this lamp. And while I liked the brass color, and the dangling "chimes" look of the other, this lamp is still really nice. I will add a concern i had, and that is i was worried the light would cause the crystals to cast their reflection all over, and to y surprise, no crystal shadows anywhere. Durability. It's only a month in use, so far nothing has broke. The "arms" had to be swivelled and felt a little caution was needed so as to not break, while going over or under. Again, nothing broke, so that much is good. As with anything, all things being equal, if one does not abuse it, swing from the "arms", I would think it should last as long as the previous one, 15-20 years.

It lights up the whole interior, it makes the living room very beautiful, it's really beautiful, I love it very much, especially when I take pictures.

Beautiful

The lamp is very pretty, and at over 7 ft it is pretty tall. The base is black and heavy. The lamp was pretty easy to put together. It didn't come with any light bulbs. Initially I used soft white bulbs (extra's that I had in my home) and the lamp looked nice however you could clearly see the light bulbs, but after reading another review I purchased clear light bulbs and they make the lamp look very pretty and you can't see the bulbs. That might not mean much to some people, but when you compare the two the clear light bulbs look much better. The difficult part about the lamp is the packaging. It took me considerably longer to unpack the lamp than it did to put the lamp together. Which I could appreciate because it was coming from CA to MI. I tried to neatly open the packaging, but the boxes inside of the main box are glued to the inside of the main box. If that makes any sense. So ultimately I had to tear everything open, but I was careful to not break anything connected to the actual lamp. Overall, it is a beautiful lamp, and it was easy to put together. Well worth the money.

I'll start at the beginning. 1. Prepare to spend a lot of time just getting this out of the package. It took me at least 20 minutes and a week's worth of calories just to cut away the cardboard and free the contents from the box. The box itself wasn't completely rigid, so the package actually would bend when I moved it, but everything was taped and strapped and it was completely FIXED together. That being said... 2. One part was broken, despite the tape mummy encasing everything. A better quality of cardboard box would do the trick, or a double boxing. This box was kind of hacked together. There was the plain box like you'd buy the lamp in, and then on either end of the package were other pieces of cardboard that had been taped on to reinforce the ends. But other than the box the lamp was in, there was not another "shipping" layer of cardboard. Within the box, everything was taped down in place so none of it would move. But still, one of the little white rings that screws on and holds the crystal frame in place was cracked in half. I made a trip to Home Depot for a replacement part. They really should upgrade the packaging. 3. The assembly instructions are laughable, but we got the job done. I am 5'2" and there is absolutely no way I could have assembled this by myself. I was going to try to have it all put together as an anniversary surprise for my husband, but I got it half way put together and simply had to stop and wait for him to help me finish. It's large and heavy and rather unwieldy. 4. THIS THING IS ENORMOUS. We have 11' ceilings, so that's good. I don't see this lamp working in a room with only 8' ceilings. We are planning to buy a sectional, and I think once we get that, it won't seem so monstrous. But right now next to our regular couch, this seems laughably out of proportion. I feel like I'll need to explain it to guests until we get the new furniture. 5. The light it casts seems more like an overhead light than a floor lamp. I'm thinking if someone wants to lie on the couch and watch a movie, they won't want this light on because it's right over head. 6. We used 60 watt clear halogen bulbs and it is EXTREMELY BRIGHT. If you've got dark paint, this lamp will be able to illuminate your room quite well. We have white walls, and I think this is too bright to be relaxing. I am going to try 40 watt bulbs, and I am also going to try to find a dimmer that we can plug this into so we can adjust the brightness to our liking. 7. You're going to want to hide the base. It looks like there should be a basketball hoop above it when you look at the base. It's black plastic, and simply utilitarian. Not attractive. Don't put this where you will see the base. 8. Over all, I'm not sorry I bought it, but if I wasn't planning to buy a sectional, I would have to figure out a better spot for this than beside the sofa. This would be good for a room that has no overhead light. It's not good for a cozy book nook. Not remotely. It's got a lot of bang for the buck if you've got a space for it. A very large space that needs a lot of light.

It is not dimmable but you can choose to light up all three light bulbs at the same time or two or just one. Overall Good quality light.

Esta lámpara es un sueño verdaderamente hermosos muy fácil de armar, ojo no trae los bobillos pero bueno por lo demás es bien la recomiendo mil veces

This lamp is absolutely gorgeous. It is very large so I wouldn't recommend it for small rooms. I do not have a ceiling fixture in my living room and wanted something that would light up the room better than the table lamps. I wanted something other than the torchiere style lamps. This fit the bill perfectly. I have a basic 8 foot ceiling and the highest arch is almost up to the ceiling so it acts like a ceiling lamp. It does not take very long to put together and the plastic pendents were already attached. I just had to reattach a few of them. The base is black, heavy and not very sightly, but without something to anchor it, the lamp would tip over. I have positioned it behind the couch as seen in the photo, so the appearance of the base is not an issue for me. I use it with just the middle one lit but you can have one two or all three lit. I looked at this lamp on several websites and Amazon had the best pricing for it. It is bold and makes a statement, so if you want something unassuming, this would not be the lamp for you.

This item is as advertised. Some of the reviews I read were concerned about packaging, and although that was true, there is very little inside the package that could be easily damaged, as the shades are easily repaired when putting it together, due to the simplicity of design. We really like it and recommend it, but also recommend to include some clear LED bulbs to make it look good if purchasing this item.

Good product exactly as it showing 😊
