There always seems to be a spot in the kitchen where you need more light to work or read a recipe. This lamp does that and fits perfectly under my new cabinets (14" overall height) If you've been looking at accent lamps, you know it's hard to find one that takes a 60watt bulb...this one does! It's so much more appealing than a retina-frying spotlight-style lamp. And, it has a 2-position switch that allows for partial or full wattage. It lends a cozy glow to the room when used alone, too. The lamp is small but has a nice balance. The painted birds and berries are done in subtle shades with a rich texture. Can you tell I'm happy with it? Delivery was prompt and packaging was adequate.Best Deals for Song Birds Small Accent Table Lamp
I needed a small lamp for a bookcase that was not overly decorative. This lamp is nicely adorned with birds and flowers, and it is very well made. It has a switch on the cord that provides both dim or conventional illumination.Honest reviews on Song Birds Small Accent Table Lamp
I don't get as much natural light as I'd like so I decided to bring the outdoors indoors by letting nature dictate my decorating choices. I thought this lamp would add to that motiff from the look of it in the photos so I ordered it. It will be sitting on a dresser near a drape panel that reminds me of the banding around the lamp as well as the tree branches. The lamp is attractive and I like the fact that the way the bottom is made, the cord can be pulled through either of the four sides. The lamp shade is very attractive and expensive looking. This lamp is the perfect size for my purposes.Two things to note however. It is listed in the description here as being 60 watt bulb compatible but there is a sticker on the bulb screw in place that clearly states NOT to exceed 40 watts. This was a disappointment since the shade is the clip on style (as opposed to the screw on fial style) so one has to use bulbs shaped like the old incandescent bulbs. I need to do further research as I think more traditional style energy efficient bulbs are being sold but so far all my energy saving bulbs are looped so I cannot use them in this lamp. I mention this so one can take both points into consideration when making a decision.
The final comment is about the banding around the lamp. The description does not say this lamp is hand painted so the fact that the pics are decals does not bother me. However, the banding was not applied as carefully as it should have been and does not meet properly. I finally decided to keep the lamp as I'm hopeful no one will notice but consumers need to stop doing this. As it becomes more and more likely that we'll be doing all our shopping on line (I practically already do!) so that we cannot see the product, then we have to consider that the "trouble" to send items back is more than compensated by the convenience of sitting at a computer to research thousands of items we couldn't find in stores even if we ran around all day! Just saying as I passed the lamp recently without my glasses and I saw the spot where the lines didn't meet but I did know the spot was there.
Overall it seems to be well made lamp, looks expensive and is attractive IMO. I'm glad I have it and it looks so nice on my smallish dresser. I'lll repost if it gives me any trouble as I bought another lamp last year that turned on six times, then froze! For now, this would be a five star item if it wasn't for the two items mentioned. Still four stars though.
Edited to add: after writing this review I went shopping for a shower curtain, right here at amazon.com of course. I found the Lenox Chirp Shower Curtain which looks beautiful. I'll review when I get it. It will be perfect for my nature theme and will pick up on this pretty lamp. These two items wouldn't please everyone but I'm going into 2013 happy!
