Grove Park Floor Lamp

This rather expensive lamp was among the most poorly made products we've ever encountered. Certainly at HAH. Many, many glass sections had joints (which certainly didn't look like copper) meant to connect them that were completely missing, or crumbling, partially applied, thin and precarious, and generally sloppy. Countless pieces of glass had no connection on one or more sides and were conspicuously in the process of falling out. I sent many photos to HAH showing dozens of serious defects in this lamp. Customer Service was great, as always, and of course offered that we could return it. Alas, it had taken a very long time to assemble the lamp given its tenuous condition and rather complex structure (this was before we grasped its overall lack of physical integrity), so then we had to painstakingly disassemble it, fit the various pieces into the sole workable configuration in the original box, and haul it off to UPS. What a colossal waste of time! The maker of this lamp should be ashamed to send out something so extremely poorly made. I do not think it was a single aberrant piece. The poor technique and very dubious material used to connect the glass pieces were fundamentally flawed and doomed to fail! We resolved then never to purchase products made by Quoizel again. I can't fathom how this particular design was executed in such an unusually inappropriate way. Usually the ""lead"" (?) joints in art glass lamps are smooth and unobtrusive. My guess is that problems arising from attempting a supposedly artistic and likely unfamiliar ""copper joinder technique"" caused the failure. Ironically, the pretensions attached to this special technique encouraged the company to charge a ridiculously high price for a piece of junk. I would absolutely recommend avoiding this lamp. It was the only terrible product we've received from HAH during our many years as otherwise quite satisfied customers.
