Brightech Maxwell - Modern Shelf Floor Lamp with Shade and LED Bulb Corner Display Lamps Shelves for Living Room, Bedroom Office Black

Overall, this floor lamp gets 5 stars because it does exactly what I wanted and expected it to do.Here's a brief explanation: I bought this for my office at work. My office has too many glaring overhead florescent lights. They cause glare, eyestrain, and by the middle of the afternoon - headaches. But, I have a wall of windows. So, I started working with the office lights off - using only the light from the windows. That works pretty well. But, a bit of extra light from the inside of the room was needed to reduce shadows and balance the light in the room. This floor lamp does the trick. It provides the light-balancing I needed/wanted and adds a warm, soothing glow. As an extra bonus, the lamp has the 'wood' feel that matches my desk, etc., so it doesn't seem out of place. Also, it has a couple of shelves to house a family photo and a couple of other small things that make my office feel a bit more personal and relaxing. The only reason for 3 stars re: 1). assembly, 2). brightness, and 3). sturdiness are because:1) it does require a lot of assembly due to the efforts of the manufacturer to ship it in as small of a box that they can accomplish [not a criticism, merely an observation - it's packaged amazing well and everything arrived unharmed];2) it isn't a bright light that will illuminate an entire room; and3) it isn't a high-end piece of sturdy furniture construction [nor, does it claim to be]. It's top heavy due to the lighting fixture at the top. So, it works best if placed in an area where it won't be disturbed.- - However; none of those things were a requirement for me. I just wanted a bit of extra light that wasn't overbearingly bright. I wanted something that looked nice, provided a bit of extra light to my office and didn't seem industrial. I also wanted something that felt warm and comfortable, and also would fit in to the traditional wood/oak appearance of the office furniture that I have. In other words, I was looking for something to fit in. - This lamp does all of that. It's perfect for what I wanted. I couldn't be happier. I'm thinking about getting a couple more - another for my office, and one for home. Here's the bottom line: IF you're looking for an inexpensive lamp that looks nice and also feels warm / comfortable - you may like this. But, IF you're looking for a high-end sturdy piece of shelving and/or a room light - this may not be what you're looking for.For me, it works. I'm happy and considering buying a couple more.

Bought this for my daughter’s room. Loved the versatility, all those shelves. I had it assembled in 10 mins and it’s perfect, sturdy,good materials, perfect lighting

Super cute and easy to put together. Good quality. It’s fine on the carpet in the corner, but would tip over if you have jumping cats.

Coming up with a review for this lamp was... not easy.On the one hand, it's really a cheap piece of junk. If you're the kind of person who thinks that all Ikea furniture is flimsy garbage, then just run far, far away. The construction of this lamp/shelf is worse in every way than the cheapest stuff you'll find there. I'm the kind of person who thinks that well-assembled flatpack furniture ranges from fine to great, and I still find the materials used in this lamp to be unacceptably cheap. The veneer is inconsistent and scratches off easily, the engineered wood is shockingly flimsy, and the whole thing is too light to offer any kind of stability. The shade also absorbs a huge amount of light, so it's pretty dim, too.On the other hand, you won't find this style of lamp much cheaper anywhere else, and the slightly pricier versions at big-box retailers have the exact same quality issues. It also looks good... from a distancee. If you want something that can act as a display case while providing a bit of light, then this is a cheap and good option. If you need more light, then a bulb Y-splitter will increase the light level from "poor" to "acceptable." Assembly is also very easy and the instructions are clear. The cheap materials do mean that you need to be careful during while building it since it's not hard to scratch the veneer or even damage the poles.Would I recommend it? Sure, with caveats. I wouldn't use it as a nightstand or end table where you'll routinely be messing with stuff on the shelves. It's just too flimsy and it really does feel like you'll knock it over if you touch it. If you're going to put it on carpet, then get some spikes or something. In general, I would strongly recommend placing something heavy on the bottom shelf for stability. I've got a decorative wood box on the second shelf and I think the box is heavier than the entire lamp. I'd also recommend using smart bulbs just because I don't trust the pull chain to last.All that said, it's a nice display piece and it does look really, really good as long as you don't inspect it too closely. It provides nice mood lighting for a room, and with a bulb splitter it can be a decent primary light for a small-ish space. It's also not any cheaper or crappier than the very, very similar lamps that cost twice as much. If you know what you're buying and you're okay with the flaws, then it's good for the price.
