This is a great lamp, and it got instant praise the moment I turned it on. I put 2 energy efficient 15 watt bulbs in it (rated the same brightness as a 60 watt conventional bulb), and it lights up the whole room. It has a floor switch that makes turning it on and off very simple. I'd like it more if it was taller, but the height is accurate from the description.

The lamp looks nice when lit in the darkness and casts a warm glow over a 3 foot radius or so. I used two GE 13 watt CFL soft white bulbs (825 lumens, 60 watt equivalent) for lighting, so more light may be possible with higher-rated bulbs. The light was similar to the color shown in the pictures, not as orange as some other buyers have experienced.That said, this floor lamp isn't practical for lighting purposes. Even within the light radius, I would have some strain on my eyes while reading, so ceiling lights or a good torchiere are certainly necessary for room lighting. As an ornamental piece, though, it looks fairly nice.
Note on quality of build: only the vertical, twisting frame is metal. The horizontal bars running up and down the sides are cheap wood or imitation wood of some kind, and the spacing isn't entirely consistent between the bars. The bars are also glued on to the paper lining of the lamp, so they can't be adjusted.
Conclusion: as with many ornamental pieces of this type in this price range, it gets the job done, and looks better from several feet away (or across the room) than it does close up. I'm satisfied with it and will keep it, but will have to supplement it with a proper torchiere to get sufficient lighting in my living room, as it effectively casts as much light as a strong nightlight.

I like this lamp but be aware it's going to cause the output from the sides to look very orange. It seems most of the light that's supposed to illuminate the room comes from the top. That doesn't do a lot of good in my application, but in a room with a ceiling it'll help a lot. In terms of light output it's a bit weak where I'm at, but I suspect much of the light is getting soaked up by the open, dark ceiling above. The switch works well, and the cable is a reasonable length.It is worth noting this lamp takes two light bulbs, and the lower one could be a lot easier to change if they would flip the socket upside down. Approach it from the bottom of the lamp.
The packaging prevented the light from getting damaged, but it's also some of the worst packaging I've ever encountered. It just doesn't seem like there was much of a strategy to it. It's an odd mix of styrofoam, plastic bags, and bubble wrap.

i got 2 of these lights, and they are WAY COOL. they are very lightweight and simple in design. the lining inside is a yellowish color, so when you put the bulbs in, it colors it to a beautiful warm off-white. it also casts a very interesting shadow on the wall from the diamond shaped top. VERY cool light, extremely happy i got it. totally worth the money. very unique and functional.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Adesso 4046-01 Stix 50-Inch Twisting Black-Metal Floor Lantern
This lampshade is nice, just the right size not too big, and looks reasonably well made. Packaging was not quite as robust as could be however.The light depends on the output of the bulbs feel free to mix up different outputs so long as they are less than the overall load bearing ability of the cord and fixtures etc.
Gives a nice ambient glow, just right overall very happy with it.
Would prefer if it was manufactured in the USA its not a complex item like electronics..
