5.0 out of 5 starsGreat lamp for an affordable price
Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2023
I ordered this to replace a halogen tortiere style light in my tiny living room. It arrived promptly in a surprisingly small box. It was easy to assemble once I realized that there were little plastic rings protecting the edge of the threads that had to be removed (this was not referenced in the instructions and clearly I haven’t unboxed many lamps!).
Pros: great price; arrived promptly; easy to assemble; offset pole means it tucks nicely into the corner behind my recliner; love the dimmer switch - easy to use and gets very bright if you want it to; nice downcast light for reading. Note to those replacing an upward facing light like I am - although the top of the shade is open, the light cast upwards towards the ceiling will be significantly less than the tortiere style light so the change in light quality to the room will take some getting used to. The light is more focused with this light. I have some other table lamps around the room to ensure all corners of the room are lit.
Cons: I’m not a fan of Edison bulbs so I swapped out the one it came with for another LED; I’m not sure how I feel about the white lampshade but that’s an aesthetic thing that can be easily changed in the future by purchasing another shade;
Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. Great light for the price.
