Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You need a photo to see how awesome this light is! My photo really doesn't do it justice but it's far better than the product illustration here on Amazon. Having said that, on to the pros and cons. PROS: Ridiculously easy to assemble after taking a brief glance at the instructions. I notice one reviewer said her lamp wasn't perfectly straight. It's likely because each section wasn't tightly screwed into the adjacent section. You've really gotta twist them into the adjacent section until it doesn't turn any further. Same goes for screwing in the pole to the base. Make sure they're all tight, and it stands at a near-absolutely-perfect 90-degrees with zero wobbling! - The hoops can be configured in quite a few different ways, making this lamp even more "artsy"/awesome! - It's a genuine conversation piece. Everyone who comes into my office does a double-take. - When placed in a corner (as I did in my office) the lights make for cool lines/shadows on the walls. SO cool that I deliberately kept wall pictures away from it so they wouldn't distract from the light patterns. Trust me. VERY cool lines on the walls that aren't that discernable in my photo. - Of the 3-way settings, the medium setting is perfect lighting [for my tastes] while the dimmest setting is wonderful mood-lighting. CON: As in... there's only one that I've noticed. The brightest setting is too bright. [Again. My taste.] The photo shows the lamp on the dimmest setting, otherwise the picture would be too blown out. BOTTOM LINE: This lamp is fantastic. Kudos to the designer. I feel bad for the company for the simple reason that the illustration just doesn't do it justice. Hopefully more folks who review this and love it as much as I do will include their own photos, so I hope this photo helps.
