Drum Shade Floor Lamp - Simple Designs

I should have listened to the previous reviews. The switch has stopped working after having it less than a month.

It's slightly shorter than I expected and the pole is a little thin. It looks nice though. The light bulb doesn't sit higher than the shade unless you have the shade upside down.

I like the look of the lamp but it randomly turns off. Sometimes it will stay on for a few minutes and other times it turns off within seconds.

Product: Floor lamp is a bit low compared to my roommates floor lamps (which is sort of parabola style). (Right now I putting it on some amazon boxes.) It is not well suited for a floor lamp that can light up an entire room. Rather it seems like an adequate floor lamp next to a couch or chair for reading (which I don't have). Maybe it's better to think of it as task lamp that makes your ceiling glow? The lamp shade is made out of paper and it was already bent when I got it. Such a shame, because it seems great care went into packaging the lamp shade properly. Not fixable, since it is paper. The lamp goes around the base of the metal rod without a clasp and REALLY feels like short cuts were taken. Or the manufacturer just happen to have a lamp shade that kind of fit the rod and they were though they can market it as a new product. The ONLY reason I am not giving it a 1 star rating is because it has a floor switch. I feel more floor lamps need to come with this option. (Kinda of don't get why they do this it with this model and not other models. It's not as if you have to lift your hand very high to reach it. Other floor lamps, which are taller, have switch on the top. The world is backwards.) Packing: Felt like this product has been in a storage facility for a decade. Upon unpacking, the Styrofoam in the packaging look like it was melted on the cord. I try to flick it off but it still stuck on there in side the pool and on outside parts of the lamp. Assembly: It took several tries to get the pool attached to base. Kept tiling. It did not want to align properly. Mind you, I assembled all my roommates furniture including floor lamps since we moved in. (I have 3 other roommates.) Had 0 problems with assembly with their floor lamps. The Room Essential Floor Lamp is taller an a better deal to be honest with you.

Received this floor lamp today. Love the look as it matches my end tables. Put it together, and the bulb sits higher than the shade. Looks horrible. So disappointed.
