I think I received a different lamp than everyone else. Mine accepts standard A19 bulbs and is very cheaply made. It has the quality of a 60 dollar lamp. The pole is very thin painted metal and it wobbles on the base and the globes are very poorly frosted, you can see the coating thickness vary leaving lighter areas. The power chord is a cheap transparent extension chord style with a foot pedal switch. The lamp  does provide a lot of light though...
