I thought I should mention that there is a burning smell (metallic scent) that fills the room when it is turned on. This worries me a bit. Otherwise, it is as it looks, but I don’t think I would leave it on when I am not present in the room because of the smell.

It’s easy enough to put together and looks fine. The problem is that there are no diffusers on the lamp – which makes the bulbs blinding and the spread of light very narrow.

I was very pleased when I saw it come out of the box. It looks very nice and had a sturdy base that could even stand up on a carpet. On the first day I used the maximum allowed 60 watt bulbs. A horrible smell filled the room and gave me a headache. I found the center lamp could not be turned off. The reason why is because the rotating switches were held on with glue. The glue melted on the center lamp, and spinning the switch would not turn the small cylindrical piece inside that was covered in melted glue. Apparently I was also breathing in the fumes from hot glue.
I figured 60 watts was too much so after the glue solidified again (after I unplugged it to turn it off) I tried using only 40 watts in all lamp fixtures. The same problem came back. It took twice as long for the glue to melt, but the problem was still there.
I won’t use 20 watts because I wanted to use it to read. I am going to attempt to send it back asap if it is not too late.
The worst part of it all is that it is so obvious that you should not be putting glue at the top of a lamp that gets too hot to touch. I am not an engineer, but even I can figure out that making the switches screw on like the top of a bottle would be much better than using a glue which melts and releases horrible fumes.
I am surprised none of the other reviewers had this problem. I wonder if I am the only one unlucky enough to have gotten one which had glue switches instead of some other model they were using. I noticed some of the other reviewers mentioned the smell and heat, but not this problem.
I will not buy from this company again.

Do not have anything negative to say about this lamp. My favorite things about the lamp are:
-Sturdy – nice study metal
-Easy to Assemble!
-Great Price
-Love that you can adjust amount of light by turning on 1, 2 or all 3 lights
-Adjustable light – the heads adjust so you can direct the light just where you want it
-Sleek design – not too big so it fits almost anywhere
-Came well packed in nice box.
I would suggest using energy light bulbs. At first I had regular 60 watt light bulb and it got really hot, but I switched to the spiral energy saving bulbs and the heads do not get nearly as hot and the light is a lot nicer – cooler light all around.
