Customer Reviews

didn't work
While the tochiere was quite easy to assemble, the lamp itself would not turn on. Sadly, I had to return the product. Its simplicity is quite attractive, however.

Bright Lighting
If you are at all sensitive to bright fluorescent ligt, do not purchase this lamp. On the dimmest setting possible, it is very bright. For me, it is unusable. If you want to light 5,000 sq. ft., this is the lamp to get. ott, it looks good assembled.

Great lamp, but you'll need to buy a seperate bulb for it
While this is a wonderful lamp, I do have to be honest about the foolishness of it coming with a fluorescent bulb. After I put it together, I found out that the bulb packed with the lamp was cracked from being crammed into the styrofoam packing with the rest of the lamp. It really was not a good idea, since the bulb cracked when I carefully tried to open the packaging around the bulb. I didn't even get that far in the process before I heard that awful cracking sound.

This is a very crucial point to make because of the mercury powder inside the bulb. I had to carefully put the bulb--still in its packaging--in a plastic bag and put it in my storage area because I did not want my kid inhaling this very toxic material. (I'll have to take it to the solid waste management service in my town to safely dispose of this hazardous waste tomorrow morning.)

Whatever you do, err on the side of caution and go to a local hardware store to get the replacement bulb rather than order it online. It's much safer that way, especially with the whole interstate shipping process. Were it not for this one important issue, I'd give this lamp a five-star rating.

It is really a nice bit of hardware, especially when it's put together according to the instructions. It's good to have actual written assembly instructions instead of some cheap drawings with arrows to tell you what to do. Everything works just the way it's supposed to (that is, once I went to a local home improvement store and bought a couple of bulbs, just in case).

Apart from the caveats I mentioned, this is a wonderful product and would recommend it to my friends...with the proper cautions, of course.
