GLOBEElectric 67346 Novogratz x Floor Lamp, Dark Gray

I don't think I've written a review before, but I am now. (First, sorry for the pic - my phone is charging so I don't a camera.)I am a connoisseur of table and floor lighting - so much so that I have a storage unit where many are housed - I just don't have the space. That said -- this is an OUTSTANDING lamp. Design is gorgeous, quality you can feel in the materials and craftsmanship. It is heavy and strong.Slight edit - the listing was $107 when I put it in my basket, but I waited a day or two and they priced it down to a 'special' at $78. So, maybe that's an amazon tactic to get you to buy. :-)Easy to put together - took ten minutes without instructions. I have the color-changing bulbs, so I have the flexibility to get the lighting just right. Unsure how it fares for standard bulbs.The outside of the shade and the base are definitely black - unlike a review I saw that said they were gray.Do note - the inside of the shade is more matte-silver. I think I thought they were gold based on the lamp turned on - maybe is was the bulb/light color. Just know it's not gold/brassy. HOWEVER, the stem IS brassy - so it is just a beautiful lamp.The pulls for the bulbs hang down slightly far - a little odd - but nothing bothering. And they're heavy and strong - doesn't feel like a solid-tug would make them break free.Keep in mind that the shade is closed at the top. You can see in some of the pictures. If you're looking for something to light up a whole room - both up and down, this isn't your lamp. But, note, while the light is directed down.... is isn't just STRAIGHT DOWN. It casts wide - a product of the bulbs being closer to the bottom of the shade.Obviously, enclosed at the top means you don't see the bulbs when you're walking by - I'm 6'1 and that often happens and is annoying. As for seeing the bulbs when sitting near the lamp, as long as the lamp is 14-18 inches away, you don't see the bulbs from underneath.Finally, for the price, this lamp is an outrageous value. Like I said, I'm a lamp-lover, and have lamps 5x-10x as much as this. I'm ordering another one for my office at work.PS: Not to bag on the marketing department, but this lamp is not merchandised very well. They could show it off so much better in the photography. and lumping it in with these other lamps with shades does a disservice to how unique and awesome this lamp is.PPS: I am not being paid for this. lol

I bought two of these for my living room and love them. They dont look like they were bought on amazon and look like an expensive brand. Easy to put together, great quality and perfect size for a floor lamp. Very happy with this purchase.

Love the lamp quality; however the material on the lampshade looks too shiny and takes away from the lamp, easy enough to replace though.

Love this lamp! Three separate pieces but fits together nicely and seams are not noticeable. Very solid and looks great.

Gorgeous Lamp!

Love. This. Lamp. Purchased the faux wood pattern. This modern statement lamp gives my living room a warm glow with its oversized cylindrical shade and unfussy, wood-look base. Like that it has an MCM look without being overdone. I purchased an Amazon-brand smart bulb and am so happy with how this floor lamp pulls the space together. Wood-grain pattern looks great, too. I assembled this in no time, unboxed and managed to have it up and operating in about 20 minutes. Shade comes ASSEMBLED and very carefully wrapped. The product overall is carefully boxes and less heavy than I thought it would be. Only negative is the blocks of Styrofoam it's packed in :( Not great for the environment and had to break out the stick vacuum to clean up the styrobits.

One of the worst items I’ve purchased through Amazon. The outside of the box has a label advising people to “Consult a qualified electrician to ensure correct branch circuit conductor”. What the heck!!!!! The lamp was time consuming to put together due to the fact the electrical cord connecting the three parts of the lamp is far too long. You have to stuff it into the pole sections in order to screw them together. The length of cord that plugs into the electrical socket is a little short. Apparently that is why you need an electrician, to take the lamp apart and wire it correctly. I managed to get the lamp put together but now I’m afraid to leave it on for too long. It’s too much of a hassle to return the lamp, I’d never get the parts back into the box. I like the looks of the lamp and will use it when I’m at home, awake and in the same room. Disappointing to say the least.

Nice tall lampNeeded for our 11' ceilings
