   I love this lamp. It is very big- there is about 8 or 10 inches from the highest point of the lamp to my (really classy) popcorn ceiling and it goes to about the middle of the 3 seat sofa it is beside. The lighting is just great for reading or tasks, and I used dimmable LED bulbs. Assembly was not hard – but the instructions were minimal and I didn’t think to orient the lights over the longer legs of the base (yeah, I know, duh, but sometimes it just helps to have things spelled out a bit more obviously) – but I was able to loosen the nut from underneath with the lamp on some boxes and rotate it to the correct position without having to disassemble the whole thing – a task I definitely did not want to repeat. It comes with a tool to tighten the nut at the bottom, but I used a socket wrench for repositioning. It probably took me between half an hour and 45 minutes to assemble. It was just a little awkward because of its size.

   Love this lamp! Awesome. Excellent quality, though not cheap, it is worth every penny. Base is reinforced with steel and very sturdy. We removed the short ends of the base so we could get it close to the wall/corner behind the sofa and still keep the sofa close to the wall. When we started to cut the wood from the base, we found steel reinforcements and we were able to use the grinder to get the two small feet cut shorter.
   The switch on the lamp is located mid way up so it is easy to access from the couch. It will dim the lights or shut them off, all three lights at once. If you want more flexibility, get the led light bulbs that come with a remote. I purchased one bulb with the remote and two bulbs to accompany, so three bulbs on one remote. With the remote I can operate all three bulbs at once or one at a time with the options to dim, change light from natural to warm, put them into night mode, or turn them off or on (one at a time or all at once) Love it! This lamp is tall enough that it doesn’t interfere with my prints on the wall or people getting up and down from the couch.

   Wow! This lamp is beautiful! It is large- you need a lot of space in your room to fit this. We don’t have particularly high ceilings, so we were worried that it would be too tall; but it looks great. My husband is 6′ tall and can walk under the lamp shades without bumping his head (someone under 6’2″ would probably be able to.) The shades are a beautiful orange shade while on and more of a dark brown when the lights are off. The dimmer switch is awesome and conveniently located on the post of the lamp where you can reach it from the couch.

   We have a table that is large and round (seats about 8) with four leaves flipped up, but is square and against a wall when not used for formal dining. But we do use it every weekend for board games. Seeing the colors on the game tiles became challenging, but if we installed a hanging light, it couldn’t be over the table both when against the wall and when pulled out for dining. This amazing floor lamp stands in the corner behind the table and is perfect with four people playing table games.

   As another reviewer mentioned, the supporting feet are longer than most floor lamps. The first time we had company, I took the seat by the legs so they wouldn’t get scuffed by shoes. But that turned out to be a non-issue. They’re out of the way once all the chairs are placed. We also had no problem with how low the lights are. They’re about 5’6″ from the floor (rug) to the bottom of the lamp. One of our gamers is 5’9″ and had no trouble.

   You can spread the lights closer to each other or farther apart. The arms pivot. That’s all. The shades are about a foot wide at the bottom. Although I liked the look of this lamp before ordering it, I was surprised at its size and how much presence it commands in a room. Yes!

   I put it together by myself. It would be easier with a second person to hold sections. One mistake I made was using prior experience instead of following the directions exactly. You will not remove plastic covers off the ends of the wires to wire-nut the sections together. That’s already done, so don’t mess with the electrical ends. 😉 Just assemble it the way the directions say and it will work!

   One more thing. I’m switching my house to LEDs. So I bought dimmable LED bulbs for the lamp (love the ability to dim light while dining!). When setting the light very low, or even a little low, the lamp and dimmables combination makes the lights go off. I’m sure technology will improve–but who’s to argue with 23,000 hours per light bulb? So we keep them medium to high.
