This review is from: Adesso 7500-01 Aries 73-Inch Torchiere-Style Incandescent Floor Lamp, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)
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... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars 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.

3.0 out of 5 stars lamp is nice, but..., November 17, 2007
By 
ann (washington dc) - See all my reviews
Adesso makes great budget lamps, and I was really please to find a decent replacement for the halogen torchieres. The lamp is fine, considering it is the bottom of the price range.
However, it arrived in a box that had been opened and resealed, evidently returned previously, and the aluminum threads were not in the greatest shape. Therefore the sections didn't screw into each other all the way. If this was going to be in a more visible area and I had more time, I would have returned it.
