Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought a Medusa lamp (plus a table lamp, plus a ceiling lamp!) back in 2005. There are some things you should know about this lamp that might help with your purchase, and also help explain some of the divergence in opinions over it.
When I bought my lamps, the floor version came with six lights, and the table version came with three. I see now that Lumisource has reduced the floor version down to five lights, and the table version down to two lights. (I just now saw this at their website, [...]). Who knows why they did this, but that explains some of the later comments about the lamp having only five lights when six are pictured. Amazon should update this picture, as well as any picture of the table version that shows three lights instead of two.
(Just as a note: Lumisource also seems to have discontinued the ceiling Medusa lamp fixture.)
The Medusa lamps that I bought are extremely well-made: their brushed metal is very high-quality, the bases are sturdy and very heavy, and the shades are colorful and well-finished. I would say that the colors are all "standard" ones: the red is standard red, the green is standard green (neither bluish nor yellowish), the blue is a darker blue between royal and navy, the yellow is standard yellow, and the orange is yellow orange. All shades are finished with white interiors. My floor lamp (and table lamp) are stable enough, with heavy enough bases, that you can have the lamps all arranged to one side and the lamp will still remain stable unless you knock into it ... although for common sense's sake, this is probably not the best idea in the world. Once screwed together, it has stayed that way.
HOWEVER: Lumisource did also sell a cheaper version that I saw at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and others have mentioned seeing it at Target. This cheaper version was very definitely not of the same quality. It may not be bad, but it's not the same as the item that costs closer to $100. Just FYI.
However, now that I see that Lumisource has reduced the numbers of lamps, both on the floor model as well as the table model, I can no longer vouch for the overall quality, as it's not the same product that I bought. It may be of the same high quality, just with fewer lamps, but I cannot say for sure.
I did think it was important to let folks know that the product has changed some time over the past five years. (sigh) I guess "caveat emptor."
