Pleasant addition to the living room February 27, 2008

I was hesitant about buying a sub-$10 equivalent from walmart when I got these (I have 2 from walmart and 2 of these). They are much better quality and much more sturdier. It blends in with different living/family room colors, and it even looks great in the basement!

Very nice looking, with 2 levels of lighting that's very practical, adds a modern and elegant look.
Decent quality, not halogen October 17, 2007

This lamp is a good height, with a metal body and a heavy metal base. It accepts two standard light bulbs (I use CFL's to be kind to the earth and they work great) so if you are looking for a halogen lamp, this is not the lamp you are looking for. The white diffuser at the top is cheap-feeling and made out of plastic, but looks good from a distance. And if your guests are feeling the diffusers of your lamps you probably have other issues to worry about.
Overall I would definitely recommend the lamp. It is a good value, nice looking, and performs well.
Note: I ordered two lamps, but initially only received one. As always, Amazon customer service was great, and I had a replacement lamp free of charge within a week or two.
Good, bright, inexpensive and functional September 5, 2007

I was looking for an economical functional floor lamp. This lamp fits the requirements. The style is simple and functional. Many other floor lamps I looked at only allowed one 150 watt bulb. My experience with those was poor. They lit up the ceiling well, but they just weren't bright enough to illuminate the rest of the room. This one takes two 150 watt conventional bulbs, so it is very bright.
The dimmer switch has two settings, full power or half-power. You can NOT adjust it to in-between levels.
I'm using it with compact spiral fluorescent bulbs instead of normal bulbs. (None of the fluorescent bulbs i've seen are compatible with dimmers. They all require full power. I just never use the half-way mark on the light switch. I've had the lamp with CFL bulbs for several months and have not had any problems.)
This lamp does not qualify as fine furniture. It is not going to elicit comments like "ooh, what a lovely lamp". It just lights up the room well in basic, modern, functional style.
Great Lamp -- A bit hard to assemble April 18, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I am 100% satisfied with my black Bellacor Aries torchiere floor lamp. I like to use standard compact fluorescent bulbs in my lamps vs. incandescent for energy savings. I do not like having to use either the special ring-shaped bulbs that the lamps sold as "fluorescent" use or the special three-way bulbs. The standard ones are cheaper and work in all of my fixtures, so I do not have to keep several different kinds of bulbs around. Because of this, it is important that the lamp take two bulbs so it will be bright enough. It is also important that the lamp not use a dimmer because dimmers do not work well with fluorescent bulbs. The Bellacor Aries takes two bulbs and does not use a dimmer. Instead of a dimmer, the knob-shaped switch has positions for off, one, or both bulbs.
The lamp was a bit hard to assemble. Getting the threads of the various sections to line up correctly when you screw them in takes some doing. (In Bellacor's defense, I have had this problem with almost every torchiere lamp I have ever owned.) Nevertheless, within 15 minutes I had the thing put together perfectly straight and firmly tightened, so five stars. (If I could give 4.5, I would, but it deserves the benefit of the doubt since I cannot.)
