Shortly after getting this lamp and setting it up, the connection point between the top and lower halves broke and now the lamp doesn't stand up straight. Seems very cheaply made! Additionally, the way it is angled and designed isn't really functional for use, since it is pointed basically directly at the ground and acts more as a spotlight than anything else.

I Never Even Write Reviews, But I Hate This Lamp

It looks nice and the price is right but that’s about it. The connector ended up getting loose so the arm no longer stayed at the right angle. Not to mention the light just points at the floor anyway. Skip it for something more practical and well made!

This is terrible quality. There is a bend it it as soon as we put it together & the lamp won’t stay up even when we tighten it.

I would give this lamp zero stars but that is not an option. The base had dents in it and the long pieces were different colors. On top of that the socket was dangling and not safe to use. I have since seen all the negative reviews. Target should stop selling this product.

Low quality and was so damaged it could not be put together. Terrible customer service with Target when requesting a refund.

This is a great looking lamp, but I wish I would have read reviews before I purchased it. Shortly after assembly the adjustable arm stopped staying in place. The adjustment knob no longer tightens, possibly from being stripped. Can't direct the light at all now. Disappointed

i'm not sure why but it stopped staying in place, and the middle piece is stripped so it constantly comes out or turns and leans to the side

OMG where should I start? First, the base is overly heavy and the fabric wrapped cord is immovable (something that should be fluid in order to allow for easy assembly). Second the lamp is in about 5 or 6 separate sections and you must screw them all together – but unfortunatly in all cases, the treads did not match up at all, and if you don't have sufficient cord in between each section, you will fail at getting. this lamp to stand up straight. The cord started curling at the bottom of the base when this happened and I could NOT GET IT STRAIGHT AGAIN. The lamp was already leaning a tiny bit. Not easily deterred, I still plowed ahead and proceeded to move to designated spot and lamp was leaning now at a 20 degree angle! Ugggh. Last, the lamp head was NOT ADJUSTABLE (at least for me) and the light was pointing directly to the floor. Frustrated finally at this point, I took it all apart to return it. Now this ... my lightbulb broke inside. Seems the socket inside the lamp was not set in there straight. This is the most horrific lamp I have ever purchased. Ready to get it back to the store, I started packing it up. Then the WAY too heavy base fell out of the box (on top of my foot, ow), and dented when it hit my stone tile floor. AND, I now have styrafoam all over my floor. This one can't go back to the store fast enough.

Won't stop flickering. Was working fine up until today. Now it flickers non stop and can't use.
