Holds 3 bulbs - Super Bright
This lamp is very unique in that it can hold up to 3 light bulbs. The main upper lamp has two bulb sockets, plus a 3rd bulb socket for the reading lamp arm. If you use a power saving fluorescent bulb, you can use two 40 watt fluorescent bulb for the main light, which gives the equivalent of 300 watts (150w x 2) of standard incandescent or halogen light output for only a quarter of the energy costs (40w x 2). There is no other torchiere style lamp that will allow this level of brightness and long term cost savings.

Great value!
Very easy assembly, I bought one then later on bought a second one. I bought these to get away from my old energy wasting halogen torchiere. I put various wattage compact fluorescent bulbs in them. Works great! Looks much more expensive than it costs. Even the plastic shades look good and not cheap.

Looks Cheaper than the picture + CFL advice
In the picture here it looks a lot more elegant. The shades look like glass or something better than the cheap plastic it really is. It's not that ugly and still is the closest thing to what I wanted; my apt is black & white modern theme, and I had wanted a torchiere with an adjustable side reading lamp, all of which this offers. My complaint about the quality is that I don't think it should cost $50+. It looks like a $20 lamp from target (mind you I couldn't find what I wanted there).
About CFLs - as a previous reviewer said, they do stick out hideously. The main shade you can bend the socket degree a bit and make them fit, but nothing you can do with the reading lamp. I use them anyways. If this really bothers you, you can go for cold cathode CFLs, which look like a standard bulb, but they aren't as bright and you need shop around specialty lighting places as they are not readily available yet, try specialty lighting stores. Another thing about CFLs, if the color bugs you don't blame the bulb. This is my opinion using the 2 main kinds in this particular lamp in my home. Full spectrum (has number about 5000K)is supposed to simulate sunlight. Sounds good but indoors, it looks really crisp, cold and sterile. The soft white (look for about 2700K), which has a yellowy tinge, looks better. I believe it will look better in most cases too.

Reading light will not work after less than a month.
I really liked the price. I bought this for the reading light option and loved it, till the reading light stopped working. I tried a new bulb, no luck. So I took it apart to see if there was a loose connection inside, but no luck there either. Mine could just be a one of those that it just happened to. I did not take the chance again, bought a different kind somewhere else.
Really wanted this to work and t may work for you. I threw away all the paperwork, so I can't send it back.
