Summary: broken out of thebox
Comment: Did not turn on upon assembly; outlet an bulb were fine. The lamps "touch-sensor" was broken from the get-go.

Summary: Touch sensor fails
Comment: I bought three of these lamps because they looked great and had the touch sensor which I thought was a cool feature. The light bulb in one of them blew one day and the apparently the touch sensor blew with it. A few months later the next one blew and so did the touch sensor. The final one recently blew. The touch sensors are incredibly sensitive to blowing when the light bulb blows. I have to unplug them now to turn them off. At least I have a wall switch on one of them so it works like a regular light switch. Beware purchasing this lamp because it will not last you very long. However, they do illuminate a room very well.

Summary: Terrible
Comment: This lab was a horrid item. It only worked on select outlets in my house. I found myself touching it several times to have turn on and then immediately off! This lab is terrible, definately skip it!

Summary: Cheap, touch sensor broke after a few weeks
Comment: I bought this in person at Target and it was a decent lamp for the price. (The touch sensor is the whole lamp body, BTW; there is no switch because you just touch the lamp with bare skin.) It cycles through the different brightness settings each time you tap. Sadly it also thinks you tapped it if you have a computer plugged into the same power strip and that computer wakes up. Haha how quaint, no big deal.
Then one day the touch sensor just failed, and the lamp would no longer turn off. I suppose I was lucky compared to the folks who had it fail in the off position. Anyway I spliced a regular rocker switch into the lamp's cord and now it is a plain old lamp. A bonus is that now I can (and do) have a compact fluorescent bulb installed since it only has on/off instead of the dimmed settings.
For the handier folks, maybe buy this and remove the touch-sensor and install a switch on the cord. Or just buy an even cheaper lamp that has a plain old switch.
Aside from the on/off problems, it's a fairly attractive lamp, all aluminum except for the white plastic shade at the top.

Summary: Won't work with compact flourescents
Comment: This lamp is fine, but I had to remove the touch controller in order to use it with a 26w CFL light bulb. If you get this lamp, plan on using a high-wattage incandescant bulb, or getting an electrician to unwire the touch controller.

Light any room in the house with classic radiance when you use this torchiere touch floor lamp from the Modern Home Collection. A touch sensor on the tall steel stem illuminates the white opaque plastic shade, which has an elegant trumpet flare. Sturdy round base has the same stylish satin finish as stem. Requires one 150-watt maximum bulb (sold separately). Imported. 71H".
