The fan itself is plain, but overall it is fine. However, the light fixture in this fan is terrible. It requires a specific type of CFL with a bi-pin base rather than a typical screw in base used by most light bulbs (here is an example ). Perhaps if the bulb itself was better it wouldn't be such a big deal, but it gives off a harsh, bluish white light that washes out the room. Since it has the unique bi-pin connector, you can't just replace the bulb with a better or regular incandescent bulb. The bulb also makes an annoying humming sound that makes me feel like I'm in a depressing office building. To boot, I bought a specific switch to use when installing this fan that has a dimmer switch for the light, but since this is a CFL, it can't be dimmed. I am probably going to completely dismantle the whole thing and ship it back because I am really disappointed in this fan. If I had seen anywhere in the fan description some information on this light fixture with this fan, there is no way I would have bought it in the first place.

5 Minute Fan is a huge misnomer It takes a while to install a ceiling fan properly, even if (as in my case) everything has been pre-wired and prepped. It takes 5 minutes just to get the package open and sort out all the hardware. Wiring and mounting the fan is probably another 20-30 min depending on individual circumstances. But I digress, the fan itself is nice, I have two older Hunter ceiling fans that are nearly identical. The older fans are still whisper quiet, as are the new ones, so I have confidence in the quality of Hunter's products.

The one "gotcha" on this item that the lighting fixture only supports fluorescent light bulbs. Had this been mentioned ANYWHERE on Amazon's product description I would have searched for a similar fan that uses traditional incandescent light bulbs. Thankfully I don't often use the lights on the fan units, so it isn't a major upset, but it should definitely be called out somewhere.

There's no way this fan was a simple thing to put on and no way its close to five minutes(though I didn't expect it to really be 5 minutes of course). The instructions were confusing and there was this extra piece which we couldn't figure out if we needed it or not. Also, once its on if you have to make any adjustments it is super hard. Things were locked in place and almost impossible to remove and then the top of the base has holes so when we unscrewed one of the screws of the top canopy thing, it fell inside the middle base through the hole and is still there as it was impossible to take out unless we took the whole thing off. In the end I'm sure its not more difficult to put than another fan but the point is don't advertise this as a simpler to install fan and then it turns out to be a headache. Basically I'm giving it low scores because of the false advertisement otherwise it looks good and functions well.

This fan is really a NICE classy looking fan. It has a nice wood/and pewter combo. It works wonderful, it's quiet, it was fairly easy for my husband to install.

Great fan.

The light bulb is flourescent. It takes a minute or two to get brighter, but it's fine. Gives off a nice light.

We got one of these lamps for our wedding and it got knocked over and broke. I had originally got it from target but couldnt find it on the Target site. I was thrilled to find it on amazon. It's exactly like the last one. Not an extremely bright lamp, but great for atomosphere.

Reviews of Magnifying Clamp-On Desk Lamp

Customer Ratings:

What can I say, this desk lamp is a classic. You'll find this in any calibration or electronics shop because it just simply works. I bought this for my wife for crafts, but it has since remained at my desk as a regular desk lamp. I gave it 4 stars only because the metal parts can bend a little bit and I used one at work that was ancient where the knobs had cracked and broken off. But I'm careful about not over-tightening anything. The magnifier is decent too, especially with the round flourescent light, you have absolutely no shadows. Great for soldering, models, toenails, whatever you want to see.

Honest reviews on Trademark Premium 60 Inch 3 Shade Billiard Lamp Black and Silver

I saw this had mixed reviews but for the price i had to try it. I noticed some people say they are missing the shades. When i received my package it came in 2 boxes. 1 for the shades and 1 for the light assembly. The quality is great for the price, the shades are not warped or bent and have a thick feel to them. No light excepts from the shades and vents it to the table properly. It came complete with everything listed. chain, wires and so on. Note it does not comes with light bulbs. I used standard bulbs in mine. Now i decided to hard wire this light into my ceiling so i had to cut the plug end off and splice the wires and connect it to and old ceiling fan box. Works perfectly. It has a toggle switch so you can turn it on or off that way or in my case just use the light switch. I opted to use standard hooks to hang this with. It comes with a fancy decorative set that i really would not figure out but hooks work just fine. I will post pictures of this item because i feel this seller needs consumer proof. This is easily a 200$ light but because the split reviews i feel it needs some hard evidence. Thankyou for the great light it accents my room very well! oh and before i forget i notice this light for the price only is offered with black shades. I had a buddy buy the exact same light but wanted green shades, Just use a can of krylon spray paint and it works great. Customize this light how ever you like. I definitely recommend this light and i see no need for anything less than 5 stars! Be sure to look at my pics!

This was purchased as a Christmas present and silly me, I did not open the box before giving it. It was discovered upon opening that it did not have the lamp shades, only the metal part. Amazon will not just send shades, so in order to get what was ordered, the whole huge thing would have to be sent back so a replacement could be sent.

Just save yourself the hassle and spend a little extra to get something quality, or go to a store and buy something similar to this where you will end up with what you purchased.

I couldn't find what I wanted in the home stores, so I found this online.

I like that it's a little different, kind of rustic but not too much so.

Went up easily and the price was right. Since the kitchen renovation over a

year ago, I have had lots of compliments on the light. Very happy with it.

I have this same globe, and it lights one end of my kitchen nicely. This is a very economical way to light a room. The fixture is easy to install and when I ordered from Amazon it literally turned up the next day. My parents had a similar fixture in their kitchen in the 1950s, so there is a lot of sentimentality there.

Probably worth getting a dimmer with this since 150 watt bulb throws a lot of light.

The pendent light is beautiful once installed, but, changing the lightbulb takes two people on stepladders. It involves completely removing the globe, inserting the bulb inside of globe, pulling the socket down, then reattaching the globe to the socket.

The two lights we purchased were what we were looking for, they were very similar to a light fixture we had a long time ago.

There was a time when you could buy a nice lamp for $100.00; those days are gone.

1)Oil-rubbed bronze finish Fake bronze paint job.

2)Natural mica shade makes each piece different and unique Man made mica shade? doesn't look or feel natural.

Be care putting it together, made in China. I guess cost are really going up in China, and/or the dollar is on it's way to zero.

Just glad I didn't pay full price, I would have sent it back if I did. I have been buying used furniture and having them restored; I will now buy used lamps and restore them myself; am tried of buying junk. Quality cost so much $$$ these days.

You really have to understand how to put things together because the instructions are a bit rubbish. The light needs some fiddling to sit straight but once you get it worked out it does look good. Not quite as good a quality as I was hoping but not completely horrible either.

The Verilux natural spectrum deluxe lamp is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I do a lot of crafts (crochet and cross-stitch) and I can see so much better with this lamp. I can move the flexible head in any direction so the light is always "just right." I also like the handy tray~perfect for scissors, needles, coffee, etc. My husband likes it because it makes it much easier to read the paper and he has a place for his glasses and the remote. I really can't say enough about this lamp. I would highly recommend it to anyone. We're probably going to end up getting another one soon because we often want to use the one we have at the same time!

Love this lamp! Great for arthritis, hobbies, and those with poor eyesight, but there are some things you should know.

"You don't need nimble fingers or a strong grip", only applies AFTER the lamp is assembled. Best way to assemble is to lay the lamp horizontally on its side on carpet and go from there. Do not place upright until completely assembled. Light bulb is very hard to insert.

If you are changing the bulb at a later date, flex the neck backwards until the bulb is horizontal to the ceiling. You will save yourself a lot of frustration.

Also, the lamp I received was obviously returned by a previous customer. Too much trouble to return, but am not pleased Amazon sent me a used product and charged an arm & a leg for it.

Packaging leaves something to be desired.

Both package and lamp are very heavy.

It's not a 'decor' item: it's more business-like than that. Simply put: it's a standing lamp which is highly flexible in height and flexible in the way you can point the lamp so it's on the work and not in your eyes. It was just right for reading in my recliner. I wouldn't use it out in the living room, but it's nice in my den.

Honest reviews on Verilux VF02AA1 EasyFlex Natural Spectrum Deluxe Floor Lamp

This is an expensive lamp, but it's easy to set up, looks great (the unattractive tray is easily detached), and shines with the perfect amount of light for reading. The bulbs really do last a very long time, shine beautifully white light, and are energy-efficient.

Some minor quibbles: The difference between the "bright" setting and the "dim" setting is too miniscule to even notice. Also, the maximum height on the lamp is only about 5'4" (unbent), which is fine for me and my reading chair, but you might require a taller floor lamp.

Pros: Very easy to assemble, sturdy.

Cons: Poor design flexible neck lost its structure after several times of moving it in different directions.

Honest reviews on Lite Source "Savoir Faire" Table Lamp

I purchased this lamp and the matching floor lamp. They were easy to assemble and are a nice heavy weight. The lamps are quite beautiful as are the shades. There really is not much more to say. They are lamps and do what they are supposed to do. Even though I looked at the measurements prior to purchasing I was some what surprised at how short they both were compared to the lamps they were replacing but after having them for about a month I have gotten used to that. I didn't give them 5 stars because I feel the price was a bit higher than it should have been.

Cheap Adjustable Wall Lamps (Set of 2)

Customer Ratings:

Just put these up on either side of the bed. They look exactly as pictured. Tricky install, as when I leveled them based on the back plate, the lamps were crooked. Instead, I had to level them by the screw holes. Once installed, they look lovely and make reading in bed much easier. The shades flex and the arm turns side to side, so you can adjust them easily to your liking.

TIPS: A couple of things I would suggest -1) Stand up next to the wall where you will mount them; make sure you hang them close enough to read by, while high enough that you don't hit your head when you get in and out of bed. And 2) Use the anchors included or something stronger to mount them. I didn't and they wobble a bit too easily, so I plan to fix that when time permits. Otherwise, these lamps make the room look elegant, with soft lighting.

These lamps are fantastic in our bedroom. We used them for each side of the bed just like the picture shows. However, we bought them from LTD Commodities and they are only $19.99ea there, so I would suggest buying them there. Same exact thing but saving $20-$30 bucks!

Honest reviews on Adjustable Wall Lamps (Set of 2)

These lamps are ALMOST exactly as described, but the shades are not a bleached white color. Instead, they are more of a natural linen color. Pretty light, but still definitely not WHITE. Also, do make sure you notice that the plate you attach to the wall is not level when you install them it's the screws on either side that need to be level, so the base plate itself is at a little bit of an angle. When you look at the installation carefully, it becomes apparent how to adjust this to make the lamps level. Other than that, great wall lamps! Had a hard time finding something like this that also had an adjustable shade for reading.

Lite Source LS-21044 Constantino Table Lamp, Silver and Black Body Review

List Price: $171.00

It looks good on my nightstand, but for over $100 for a nightstand lamp, the quality is not high enough. While the lamp is completely sturdy and well constructed, the materials do not seem top quality and are just... a bit off. For example, the shade just does not look like the elegant color in the picture but looks a bit cheap. Another complaint is the top piece (black upside down u) that gives the lamp its great look prevents bigger light bulbs from being installed. I tried to install a GE 150-Watt equivalent halogen light, but the top cannot screw on when a bulb that big is installed. This is frustrating because I really wanted more light but would have to sacrifice the look of the lamp.

All in all, not a bad product but I'm sure you could do better for the money.
