Plug-in Bronze Swing Arm Lamp

Rating

This lamp is very nice looking but the installation of this lamp was more difficult than it should have been due to inferior and improper parts. The mounting plate was a flimsy piece of metal that bent easily when trying to attach the fixture. They provide one inch and one and a half inch screws for flush mounting. The device requires one and a quarter inch screws. This lamp is listed as a 100 watt bulb fixture and when we finally got this mounted we noticed a sticker on the lamp stating it is a 60 watt bulb max. I wanted at least a 100 watt, no less, I would have passed this up at the 60 watt rating. Other than that it seemed adequate in workmanship.

This lamp is perfect for my needs. It was pretty easy to assemble. I really like the extra long cord. It made it easy to hang the lamp at just the right height. Once hung, it gives my dark corner excellent light. The swing arm feature makes it easy to shine direct light on a specific area or light the entire corner. I would definitely recommend this lamp.

Bought two of these because the colors were just what I was looking for. I had to enlist friend who knows electrical things to help install them - everything, including the plugs, were in separate pieces with no useful directions at all. He didn't think it was a big deal to assemble ... but he's not an average consumer, either. They aren't plug-in -- they are assemble from almost scratch! It was very frustrating to open the box and find this out. Also, the shades were two different shapes. I sort of smooshed one to match the other. Lastly, once hung, they look nice as long as you don't move the swing arm. If you do, they droop in odd ways and there is no capability to tighten or adjust. I like the way they look, but ...So .... I guess the look get a thumbs up, but the execution of the look gets a yelp of frustration.

I like this lamp. My husband and I installed two of them in about 20 minutes. I was hesitant to order them based on the reviews, but I'm glad I did. Received them in good condition. No complaints.

I was so excited to see this lamp! The colors in the shade were exactly what I wanted. But the shade was the only thing good about this lamp. It took 3 hours to install (I'm not inept, it should have been a 5 minute job) and the screws were so bad that we ended up marring the finish trying to get them in. The arm hangs at a sloppy angle and there is no way to tighten it up. Very disappointed. I will probably buy another lamp and just use this shade.
