Mainstay 24340 Floor Lamp, 71" Tall, Brown

What is with items available on Amazon having 3rd-rate quality from well-known brands? Sure it's hit or miss. There's lots of great reviews for this product, but the bad ones are like you are reading about a different product. I just returned another item that was from a "quality brand", because the bolts to connect the two main pieces weren't even threaded, i.e. they weren't even bolts, just metal studs. It seems you are playing Russian roulette when you buy something you expect to be halfway decent on here anymore. I imagine the ease with which one can return an item on Amazon is because of this trend.So, the issue: simple. There's something wrong with the switch. It's hit or miss if the lamp turns on or not. I have to jiggle the switch, screw and unscrew the bulb, or shake the whole damn thing until I get a contact, and then I'll be lucky if it stays on instead of strobing. I bought two. I've only opened one. No joke, I feel like there's actually a high chance the other lamp will have similar or similarly annoying issues. We'll see.

Good for the price but there's not much too it. Very cheap plastic base and almost rubbery type plastic light cover. My kids constantly broke lamps so I purposely went cheap for That reason. The plastic base cracked AS I was putting it together, but it still works fine. Kids have knocked it down twice and it's still in 1 working piece. If you're looking for style, this is not it. If you're looking for a basic lamp that does it's job without wasting money, then this is it. I do think it was worth it.

This is not gold! Not metallic at all or even matte gold. More of a taupe or light brown. So deceiving because even the light on the box looks gold however the lamp does not match that at all. Definitely do not order if you are looking for gold accents for a room.

I am very happy with my lamp, I ordered direct from amazon, paid about $13. It arrived undamaged, all pieces were in box and I put it together in a few minutes. The lamp shade is a thick plastic and it stays on once you screw it down like the instructions suggest, it does the job and it looks good standing in my living room, I have no complaints. Its NOT a $30 lamp so stop expecting $30 quality. Its a very good value lamp.

I gave it 5 for value of money only because it would be had I gotten it from Walmart at the $9 price point instead of double the price here. Lesson learned. It will also come in a Walmart box. Works fine lights up the room well and easy to put together.

I just saw they had this same lamp at Walmart for $7.98. SMH! Quality is VERY poor, but if I paid $7.98 I would not have expected much more.

This is a tan color and has no gold tone at all. Also the very flimsy plastic bowl was cracked. I would return but I brought it to the office to assemble and just didn’t have the time or energy to take it apart and deal with returns. I understand it’s inexpensive but this is BAD. I’ll be replacing soon. Not sure what to do with this poop/tan colored lamp now.

I LOVE THIS LAMP. Anyone considering it should just buy it now. Super easy to put together it took like 5 minutes. It looks sleek, I really like the black. I have a 3-way light bulb in it and it makes my room super bright or a nice mood setting dim (and another brightness level in between).

Desafortunadamente ni la pude armar, el color es lejos de ser dorado es un cafe claro
