I'm seeing some people posting that this is a black lamp and not a bronze one. Is that true for everyone? How high up is the switch from the floor?

It is dark bronze / blackish with bronze highlights, and the switch is by the top light. Its to bad its not lower for locations next to chairs beds etc. Still a nice lamp for the price.

It is black with trace bronze accents. I stand 5'10" and the switch is just under the top light,at my eye level. Turn once and it lights the reading lamp, twice and just the top light, three times and it lights both. The base is solid and heavy enough to make it quite stable. The frosted shades are very nice as well. It is easy to assemble without relying on the instructions. I highly recommend it.

There may be a difference between one batch of lamps on the finish to another; that I don't know, but the one I have is black with bronze accents, and the switch is at my eye level; which is about five feet. Didn't I answer this before with much the same answer? Hello again, if I did. I like it.

The switch is at the base of the top lamp. I cant speak for othets, but as for my lamp, it is dark, but it is definitely bronze and not black. It's the same color as it shows in the picture, I'd say.

I would say it is mostly black, and the edges of the leaves and and the edges of the circles around the base stand out as bronze. It really is a pretty lamp. Done this way, it makes it more interesting than a blah one color. The switch is near the upper lamp.

very dark bronze, a bit lighter near the top. switch is 5 feet up. be very careful of moving the side adjustable arm - it will snap off due to cheap plastic connector.

It's a dark bronze, looks almost black. The switch is all the way at the top. Really needs a seperate switch for the reading lamp. Nice looking though.

You're asking a lot. The lamp is already hung up so high I can't get up to change the bulb which is burnt out right now and I'm not going to climb up there to check it. Here's my best guess: I think it's the smaller size. I remember what it looked like out of the box, sort of. It's been a while. I'm pretty sure you mean the diameter of the hole. Can't you buy a kit? I probably shouldn't have answered your question because I have so little to offer. I saw those cute separate shades and wanted to buy one myself, but wasn't sure what to do, either. Good luck to you. This is a pretty good light if you like classy utilitarian. You're asking a lot.

It is a 'plug in table lamp. I don't quite understand why the pictured one appears to be a hanging lamp. Four to five feet is usually adequate for a table/desktop type lamp. If you need more cord than use an extension cord. If you are going to hang the light more than five feet from the ceiling then if probably should be rewired by someone who knows what they are doing - although it isn't that difficult. I've purchased probably a dozen lamps of that type and this one is by far the most beautiful of all and at a more than reasonable price. charlie b

The lamp is a brushed silver color. It is a little bit darker than some brushed silver (not as shiny - a bit more of a tarnished look, but not too dark). I am very pleased with the lamp.

Mine is more towards the darker (not Black) but when you look at it certain ways its lighter towards the copper. I have the dark bronze fixtures in my bathtub and it looks good with it. I have antique copper sink fixtures and it looks good with that too.

My husband installed it as an electrician would. It isn't a swag lamp. Hope that helps.

Hi Robert, the base is about 10-1/2 inches in diameter & the switch is about 5'7" high. Hope that helps! I like the lamp - it's good quality for the price.

I agree with another answer, that the light is quite bright, almost too much for a bed lamp. A dimmer switch indeed would be helpful. The light strikes me as somewhere between cool fluorescent and warm tungsten, almost like sunlight. I think the mounting bracket that fixes to the wall isn't quite strong enough to support the lamp; the lamp tends to wobble. I'll have to devise a way of making the mounting more secure.

I would not say this lamp is nice-looking. It is an effective way to provide lots of light. My mother has one at her bedside and one at her desk, placed behind the desk with the lamp curved over the work surface. It does mean that things can fall off the desk since it cannot be pushed up against the wall, to make room for the lamp.

After inspecting the switch closer, it is a black toggle, but you would never know, because of the placement it appears to be bronze as well.

This is very simple light fixture. I bought it for my kitchen as a local light source above the sink. The rest of kitchen is not not brightly lit, which I like. We leave it on at night. The color is oil bronze, which means it is much darker than the typical bronze color, very dark brown outside, white color inside. We bought it 3-4 years ago. It still looking great. Hope this info was helpful to you.

There is no on/off switch which is the only thing I dislike about it. I would suggest wiring a wall mount switch if you are handy. Otherwise it is a great lamp!!

Mine measures 68" from top to floor. I didn't measure it when I put it up so didn't noticed it wasn't 72". In my space, the shortage in inches doesn't take away from the beauty of how it lights up the room. We really enjoy this lamp.

Hi....Unfortunately, because of the metal loop at the top of the lamp you are unable to interchange it as it is part of the body of the lamp. I purchased it for a small room in our house for the grandchildren and for the night stand and it works great. Not to bright. Well worth the money especially if you should loose power.

It actually is pretty dark. It is brown and not black though. But, again, it is a dark shade of brown. I would warn you that is is a very low profile center. It doesn't stand very high off the floor so I would take that into account and make sure it won't be too small for the location you are putting it in. Also, because some assemble required. I'd recommend not tightening down the screws on the top so that it's easily removed. That makes setting up the wiring behind it much easier and you'll have less chance of damaging it when you're adjusting things.

Hi actually I am yet to receive the lamp. My friend has it in the states. I was searching for some measurements she sent me but I couldn't find it. Sorry I couldn't help.
