This is great little lamp for the application I had in mind -- wall-mounted, over my computer desk. I've broken a couple of lamps in the past, when they've gotten "bumped off" the desk (which is really busy). Also, since the lamp is wall-mounted and swing-arm, I can move it to where I need the light the most, then push it back against the wall, out of the way, when I don't need it.
Packaging was OK; the box arrived with one crushed/torn corner, but the lamp and shade were pretty much alright despite that. There's a dent in the mounting base/plate that's visible in certain light, but it's not a big deal, so I didn't return the lamp due to that (but instead gave it 4 stars instead of 5). Also, directions aren't great (and the screws provided are pretty inadequate) but since I've gotten and mounted pin-up lamps before, providing my own screws and getting it up on the wall was not a huge issue. In addition to being a good addition to my "home office", this would make a good readin...
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is "white", both on the site and in reality
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is decent (not fantastic)
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Picture and description were good; could've used more emphasis on it being a pin-up lamp with a cord (not a hard-wired lamp)
