The price seems to fluctuate pretty dramatically, so I’ll preface that I purchased it for $132 (fulfilled by Square Furniture). At that price, it’s a steal.
Pros:
-very heavy base, unlikely to tip
-metal parts seem sturdy
-dimensions are as described! Very large!
-works as a lamp!
Cons:
-stated max wattage is confusingly low??
-slightly odd smell, unglamorous packaging
-you may have to use your noggin a little bit when assembling
More specific observations, in no particular order:
The base is a very heavy piece of solid marble, and the whole upper seems like good quality metal, I’m not worried about any structural issues or tipping. I figured it would be pretty difficult to return so I read a lot of the earlier reviews before purchasing, and I think that the design has changed over time—the base I received is a solid piece of stone, with no hardware hidden inside or anything. There was some head-scratching during assembly. All necessary parts were included, but some unecessary parts were also included. For example, one metal tube had a stiff, thick rubber gasket at one end that needed to be removed (tried to fit the other piece in with the gasket, but it was literally impossible, very tight fit even without the gasket). I suspect some components are manufactured for use in other designs, resulting in some extra washers/gaskets/rings ending up in my box. Nonetheless, it all came together and feels pretty solid.
It’s a big lamp! I’m 5’10” and can walk under the arch with no issue. I bought it because was no pendant light fixture above the dining table in my apartment, and it is absolutely perfect for this. The shade hangs about 3” above the tabletop, and the base is out of the way in the corner.
The box smelled pretty old, and some of the styrofoam was basically disintegrating. The whole thing gave the impression of having sat in a humid warehouse for years, which makes me slightly concerned about the integrity of the electrical components, but haven’t noticed any issues so far. I’ll try to remember to update this review if it fails.
Lightbulb was not included, contrary to older reviews, which was fine. The weird part is that the listing lists a max wattage of 8W, which is pretty low for a fixture of this size, and contrary to the label on the lamp itself. In case it helps anyone—the sticker on the actual lamp reads: 100-watt E27 Type A bulb OR USE 23-watt CFL bulb.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this lamp if you’re on the market for a properly large arc lamp and don’t want to spend >$1000. The assembly is not exactly glamorous but the lamp itself is gorgeous!
