I really love how this lamp looks. I did not find it hard to assemble or feel that it was cheap looking. However, I was disappointed with the amount of light that the generates. I needed it for a decent sized room with no overhead light. The amount of light, combined with the shadows produced by each light made this not the best fit for the room. So, I purchased another lamp and will use this one in a smaller room.

Well, I agree that there were scant instructions for putting together the lamp; however, it was not hard to figure out, and I must say I think the lamp is quite dazzling. I also found the quality to be just fine the base is heavy and supports the lamp well; the range of dimming is fabulous. I am wondering if the fact that one has to put it together is making people think the quality isn't good, vs pulling the lamp out of a box fully constructed, all nice and complete.Best Deals for LumiSource Icicle Floor Lamp
First off, this product comes in 16 pieces. That is not an exaggeration, it is exactly 16 pieces.Each pole is comprised of 3 parts.
Then the 3 tops.
You have 3 bulbs.
And 1 base.
Assembly is a nightmare. You have to run the wires connected to the base through each portion which has a POINTLESS lip on the opposite ends that the wires get stuck behind. You better have some very, very thin needle nose pliers or you will never get the wires through. Next, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BULB COVERS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!!! They send you an extra one I'm guessing in case you break one. Well I got 2 good ones, and 2 shattered ones. I didn't figure this out until the very end since these are the last pieces you put on the lamp. Now I need to contact Wayfair directly and hopefully they'll just send me replacements since they do sell them individually for $6.
To really set me off though, I got it all set up, and the poles align nothing like the picture shows. Now I have to take the bulb covers (at least the 2 that aren't busted), and the bulbs out (which mind you, you can't touch with your hands because the oil will burn when the lights are on. Welcome to halogens. To fix the alignment you need to open up the bottom panel and have a decent sized wrench to get the suckers loose. Tightening them back up while keeping them aligned is another pain. You would think they would assemble the things with little tabs to make sure they line up right. You would also think the poles would be one piece since that would be the easiest thing to do.
Oh one more thing. The instructions is one, single picture. All the 9 pole pieces are labeled differently but there is no designation on the actual pieces. After trying to figure out what the heck was going on for 15 minutes I realized that 6 of the poles are exactly the same. Only the 3 tops are different, which you can figure out where to place them judging by the cord lengths.
It looks amazing and I loved the finished product. But I wasted 2 hours putting it together and re-aligning the poles. Who knows how long it's going to take me to get replacement bulb covers as well.
Good luck.

I really like this lamp, the look of it, the light that it gives off-my biggest challenge was putting it together. I had one before my son broke the original one, but this one was already put together for me. I had no idea that putting the three posts together could be so challenging!
