Great lamp! Just buy it from IKEA,
Buy this lamp at IKEA if you have one nearby. It is only $10, uses up to a 60watt bulb, and looks fantastic. It is easy to assemble and even comes with a felt pad you stick to the bottom to prevent any scratching on the furniture you place the lamp on.

Pull cord broke,
I bought this lamp from IKEA a couple of years ago to use as a nightstand lamp. It only lasted about a year before the pull string broke completely off with no way to reattach it. Guess there was a reason it was only $10.

Didn’t last long,
After less than a year, the pull string broke so the only way to turn it on and off now is to unplug it. I’m now looking for a different lamp.

Normande/Concord Torchiere Lamp: Good lighting at a decent price,
Purchased this Normande Lighting 150W Incandescent Torchiere Lamp, Brushed Steel here, but the box came in with the name Concord Torchiere Lamp. Thought that it might have been the wrong product, but the product #JP1-1131A was the same. Will just write it off to marketing.
Likes:
+ Measures about 71 inches tall; good for corner lighting in a small or medium sized room
+ Uses 12/19/28-Watt CFL 3-way E26 bulbs; equivalent to 30/70/100-Watt 3-way incandescent light bulbs
+ Can use 12/23/29-Watt CFL 3-way E26 bulbs; replacement for 50/100/150-Watt 3-way incandescent bulbs
+ Steel construction with a brushed steel finish and weighted base; sturdy
+ Reasonably priced lamp; good value for the money
Dislikes:
- Plastic shade is flimsy; may have to be replaced with glass
Overall Impressions:
This lamp arrived in a sturdy package, but was marked as Concord Torchiere Lamp when taken out of the Amazon shipping carton. The components were well packaged in molded styrofoam, protecting the lamp parts from shipping damage. The product description had been quite vague, listing the color and finish as “Brushed Steel” and the material as being “Plastic.” Tested the metal parts with a magnet, and they are made of steel. The instruction sheet was step-by-step and easy to follow, with written instructions and diagrams, and everything went together smoothly within five minutes. No bulb was included, but there was a recommendation for one E26 150-Watt 3-way bulb.
The product description had been weak, but I ordered a Westinghouse Lighting 3796300 3-Way Daylight Compact Fluorescent Twist Light Bulb for a number of reasons. This 3-way CFL bulb is rated at 12/19/28-Watts, the equivalent of a 30/70/100-Watt 3-way incandescent bulb with a ‘standard’ E26 screw-in base. But I wanted this one because it offered a color temperature of 6500 Kelvin, the approximate equivalent of overcast daylight, as this lamp is to be used in a work area. You could also use the more powerful GE 47448 12/23/29-Watt CFL (50/100/150-Watt equivalent) Energy Smart Spiral 3-Way Light Bulb, but be aware that this is a “warm” bulb that is rated by GE at a color temperature of 2700 Kelvin, which is quite similar to a regular incandescent lamp.
The quality of light is excellent, and the rotary 3-way switch works properly; just remember to turn it in a clockwise direction, or it will unscrew and fall out. My only issue is with the lampshade, which is made from a somewhat flimsy white plastic. If you have kids, then this might be a good safety feature, but personally I would have preferred a better quality glass shade.
Summary:
Had originally looked at the Normande Lighting JS1-161 71-1/4-Inch 150-Watt Incandescent Torchiere Floor Lamp, but because the product description was so vague about the materials, I passed on it and chose this one instead. Apart from the lampshade, this is a well-constructed and attractive floor lamp, and the lighting quality is quite good. Just follow the assembly directions, then pick the right 3-way bulb with a standard E26 screw-in base to fit your needs, and you’ll be good to go.

|Economical but not cheap,
I’m not really super-picky about this sort of stuff, I just wanted something that works well and doesn’t look shoddy. This lamp was a pretty good choice, I think. We’ve had it a few months now, and it looks pretty nice (I like the brushed metal finish); the neutral, silvery color fits in well with the rest of our furniture. The product description says it has 3-way lighting but it doesn’t work for us, maybe you need a specific type of bulb? Anyway, it wasn’t a function that I wanted, so I don’t particularly care. The shade on top is just plastic, and doesn’t really attach to the lamp anywhere, which surprised me, but once you set it on, it sits pretty flat and stays put, so I think it’s fine. Overall, I’d say this is pretty comparable to stuff you’d find at IKEA. One nice thing is that the knob you twist to turn it on and off doesn’t get warm while the lamp is on, so when you go to turn it off, you don’t burn your fingers. I used to have a torchiere that had that problem and it was kind of annoying, so I appreciate it not being an issue here.
This lamp is pretty much WYSIWYG. It solved my need for a lighting object at a reasonable price, and I haven’t had any problems with it at all, so I’d consider this a pretty good purchase.

|OK Lamp, flimsy plastic shade,
I bought 2 of these lamps for cheap lighting until I get my ceiling lights installed. The base and stem are solid, and the light is just fine. I ended up using non-3-way CFLs for the lamp. The thing I don’t like is that the plastic shade came already warped and not level on top. This makes it look very cheap, despite the considerable stem. For the rest of my temporary lighting options, I went with inexpensive ($17) floor lamps at Target. In my opinion, the Target ones look a little classier. (Maybe if I just replaced the shade on these lamps, but then I would kind of negate the whole “inexpensive” thing.)
