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

I, like so many people, pay a lot of attention to the reviews of others here and, after having read a number of very negative reviews of this tower shelf lamp, nearly didn’t order it. However, after comparing it with several other options, I decided to take a chance on it.Glad I did. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea what so many others have found to complain about with this unit.Let’s start with what should be pretty obvious (to nearly anyone): the material of this lamp is not natural wood. How, at this price point, would you be expecting it to be?? Seriously.Ok. So the material is not natural wood. But, that’s perfectly fine. In this instance, the dense, painted, fiberboard that this appears to be made from has been done very well. The individual pieces felt solid, with a nice weight to each, and had a nice finish on them.The unit arrived in a small box. When unpacking it, I found all of the materials were individually wrapped and well protected. Everything needed was there (you will need a Philip’s screwdriver), and it took only maybe 20 minutes to put together. And this was me taking my time. You’ll want to take your time with this, too. The materials are fine, but if you rush, or attempt to over-tighten certain parts, I could see how you could cause damage. This shouldn’t be considered a knock against this product. Over tightening fasteners on any piece of furniture is a great way to damage it. Be smarter than the fastener.One I had the shelf together, it felt very stable, doesn’t wiggle at all, and the light provided was just what I was looking for in this darker corner.The light pullchain pulls smoothly and also felt good. Overall, this is a very nice, inexpensive, shelf light.You could honestly do far far worse, or spend a lot more for a unit that might not be substantially better.Don’t be afraid of the bad reviews. Know what you’re ordering and set your expectations accordingly.Place some care in assembling, and I think you’ll be just as pleased as I am thus far.

Bought these as a gift and they're great! Fairly easy to put together and look great!

easy to install, it just takes a few minutes to check out all the pieces to put it together properly. I love the shelves, and it's a great bedroom light.

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.

After much research, I ordered two of these for a small room I was converting to a second bedroom. Space was limited, but I had still wanted some sort of nightstands and lamps on either side of the bed. I actually have one of these in the darker wood in my own bedroom upstairs, and have loved it and never had any problems with it, so I finally decided they would also be perfect for the limited space in my guest bedroom. I am a 60-year-old woman with some mechanical ability. It took me just under an hour to put the first one together, from opening the box and sorting through parts while enjoying a glass of wine, to tightening the last screw, inserting the bulb and turning it on. The instructions are very confusing, of course, but it’s all still pretty basic if you can just refer to the diagrams. Second one took me less than 35 minutes and a second glass of wine, with just a few glances again at the instructions. The natural wood color is beautiful, and I’m very happy with them. The box arrived undamaged, all the pieces were in good shape, and everything fit together well. I would definitely recommend these lamps to a friend.

We needed something to sit an antenna on top of and this works. Other than that the light helps at times and the display shelves make the room look better.

Sturdy for the price! Looks great.

J'aime bien cette lampe. Évidemment, tel que mentionné dans d'autres commentaires, le fil de la prise est au beau milieu de la lampe, donc il faut trouver soi-même la façon de le cacher le plus possible. Elle était facile à installer mais je conseille de ne pas trop visser et arrêter lorsque ça fait ''crac''. Pour le reste, c'est parfait.

This product is well worth its value in regards to quality, practicability and design.

I am super happy with the light diffusion. It was easy to set up but you have to be careful to not split the wood when screwing. It is cheap wood but it is expected for the price. It is a bit wobbly. Wouldn’t survive around kids and pets. If you want to set it in a corner and never touch it though, it will do the job.

Love this. Looks great and was easy to put together.
