I read ALL of the available reviews on this style of lamp before purchasing.

They either loved it or hated it. I hoped for the best! Received it with a week. The directions were VERY basic. It will look like some of the parts are missing (screws & bolts) when in fact they are already attached to other components. The only issue I had was that the wrench (that was supposed to be included) was not in the box. This made it a little challenging for me. Looks and works great!

We had purchased a similar lamp from another vendor, but it was poorly packaged and arrived as a wreck. We returned it with no problems, and ordered this lamp. The lamp arrived quickly very securely packaged. As another reviewer wrote, the small parts are all connected and have to be removed then replaced when the lamp is assembled. However, the assembly is fast and easy. The lamp has a variable dimmer. It uses candelabra base bulbs. If you have high ceilings and need a lot of light, this is a good way to go.

The packaging was terrible, the base won`t connect to the main light pole because the threaded piece in the light pole was either welded in backwards or way to far up the pole because the threaded piece won`t go through the base to allow the nut to attach it. It is at least three quarter of an inch to short. I will have to go to the hardware store and buy a bolt to make it work, if I can find the right thread. I would send it back but the packaging fell apart during shipping. Also there is some sort of white stuff on the base that should not be there.

Honest reviews on Coaster Black Overhead Sofa Floor Lamp

I purchased this item largely due to the photograph which shows a base that appeared as though it would mostly fit under my couch...the lamp I received had a different style base entirely and does not fit under the couch. But before making that discovery, probably should have seen some writing on the wall...for the shipping price I paid, would have expected it to be hand delivered in a gold crate, instead the box that showed up on my doorstep after a week was clearly a hybrid of several boxes that had been inelegantly taped together, and upon fighting to open the box, I discovered that 1 of the 5 included light bulbs had shattered inside it's individual bubble wrap. Within minutes of completing the setup, 1 of the 5 "arms" snapped clean off the base and crashed to the floor not repairable but at least now I don't need all 5 bulbs anyway.

At the end of the day...I don't plan on trying to return it, largely because I mangled the packaging to get it out and don't have a box to send it back in, and any guests in my home who didn't know it had 5 arms originally will probably never know, looks OK with the 4 and a piece of electrical tape. Also don't have high hopes that a replacement of the same product would be a different experience. I'm pretty much crossing my fingers that it lasts about a year at which point it will be replaced with a higher quality product. It does look nice once assembled and I like the dimmer function. Terrible design for assembly and worse packaging.

This was purchase for a friend who saw it in a local store. She was very pleased with the product, but she was a bit suprised by the size of it.

Review of 6-Pieces ChiChinLighting E12 3w LED Candelabra Bulb Light Bulbs 40w

I bought these to replace the quick-to-burn-out 40 watt incandescent bulbs in my hallway candelabra. They screwed in just like the regular bulbs, shine just as brightly, cast a nice bright, cheerful light, and look just the same lit up as the incandescents. The only caveat is the shipping: mine shipped direct from the seller in China, which means a couple weeks shipping time. But product quality is great so far; looking forward to these bulbs lasting for years to come, and of course the energy savings. I plan on buying from ChiChin again as I replace incandescents and CFL's.

Buy GE 99655 - GE228MVPS-A T5 Fluorescent Ballast

GE 99655 - GE228MVPS-A T5 Fluorescent Ballast
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This two lamp T5 ballast from GE seems to have a good balance of features: rapid start (0.9), decent ballast factor (0.95), parallel lamp operation, anti-striation. Instead of two lamps, this ballast can also operate a single lamp at reduced efficiency. Single lamp operation is a common failure mode for two lamp fluorescent lights.

This ballast will drive, at varying degrees of efficiency F35, F28, F21, and F14 lamps. As a general word of advice, if you want the longer F35 lamps, you may have to special order them. My local big home improvement retail warehouse does not stock F35 lamps.

Besides this General Electric 99655 GE228MVPS-A program start ballast for frequently switched applications, I also took a close look at the Sylvania 49180 QTP 2x28T5/UNV PSN NL ballast, which seems to be the leading competitor. Truth be told, comparing fluorescent light ballasts is tedious work, and I couldn't be bothered, I flipped a coin and went with the GE ballast for a few dollars more, suspecting they were more energy efficient. The one obvious thing that appealed to me about the Sylvania model is that it is available in a leadless wire trap version (49181), so you can buy 18 gauge wire separately and cut the conductors to the ideal length for your installation. The Sylvania ballast also has a longer, narrower, flatter form factor than the GE ballast.

The two manufacturers make it difficult to compare the two ballasts side by side. GE seems to emphasize their ballast's performance with F35 bulbs, while Sylvania seems to emphasize their ballast's performance with F28 bulbs. I'm satisfied with the GE ballasts, I bought. I suspect the competing Sylvania ballast would be good too.

Beautiful lamp and especially for the price. Recently replaced my lighting with oil rubbed bronze and only had a brass piano lamp. This completed the transition, looks lovely and provides adequate light for playing.

The lamp is poorly weighted...falls over if extended too far...lamp fell apart...connecting bolt in head too short...had to go to hardware store and get parts to rebuild it...ONLY reason we kept it was the wife liked the overall look.

Don't buy it! Not worth the money. The design was great and I really wanted to keep it, but it is made so poorly, it's not even as good as a $20 Ikea lamp. Parts were superglued on and falling off when it arrived, though there was zero damage to the packaging. Dings on the face and knob. Cheap metal. And when I plugged it in it didn't even work. It's outrageous how much they charged for this lamp.

The large shade fits a 75 watt-equivalent CFL nicely, and the finish on the fixture is beautiful. After buying many lighting fixtures for our new 4,000 sqft house I have found all commodity lighting (bought in stores and online) is light-weight stuff made in China, no matter how much you pay. The $200 "high-end brand" equivalent of this fixture is not made one bit better.

This lamp looks very good but I was disappointed that there was no on/off switch on the cord itself. The only way to turn it on and off is with the knob on the face plate and this requires me to stand up (it's a bedside lamp) every time I want to turn it on and off. It could be much imporved with a clicker switch on the cord. Other than that I am pleased.

Honest reviews on Kenroy Home 21009BS Metro Wall Swing Arm Lamp, Brushed Steel

It came with a broken switch. Cheaper to repair it than go through return hassles. I expected used product to be tested before shipping.

I really wanted the stainless steel one but it was out everywhere so we went with this one which was the same just black. The carton is pretty generic I was kind of surprised by that but it arrived on time and everything was there. It wasn't difficult to install as it had a backplate to screw to the wall. We did however have to countersink the screws because when we fastened the light it was not on there tight. This took a few minutes to do but in the end it was up and doing the job. It puts out great light and looks great all in all I love this light there is only one thing that I don't like about it and that is that the shut-off switch is at the base of the lamp instead of the cord and as I mounted this over a kitchen sink I have to unplug it from the wall to shut it off, hence the four stars. It's really hard to find a light for over your kitchen sink when you have to cupboard to attach it to and the wall is all you have to do that with. I would recommend this light to others. Looks way awesome.

We bought these mini pendants to hang over the island of our new kitchen renovation. We couldn't be happier with them. Matches perfectly with our hardware and comes with multiple rods to adjust the length to your needs. Only complaint could be that the adjusting rods are only in 12" lengths. Some lights come with 12" and 6" rods to customize even more. While this would have been nice, it wasn't a factor for us as a single 12" rod worked perfectly.

I like this fan because it blends in with the ceiling and doesn't look like a big ugly ceiling fan with stupid looking ugly lights on it. No "fake" wooden blades. No ugly brass. It's about as "simple" as you can get, quiet as it could possibly be, and inexpensive. It is my opinion that ceiling fans should be "felt" and not seen or heard!

We put this in a guest bedroom and it replaced a hideous looking LOUD "Hampton Bay" from Home Depot that was quite frankly shameful. lol

My husband did not understand why I chose no lights on it until it was installed and he could see how much nicer the room looked just with lamp lighting and no ugly fan lights.

Replaced an older fan which was noisy and didn't move much air unless set to the highest speed (where it added vibration to the noise). The new Hunter is silent (all you can hear is the blades moving the air) and is totally vibration free without installing the balancing kit.

We bought two of these for our office and they are simply attractive, run so quietly we forget it's on, and move the air quite well on three speeds. Although not mentioned anywhere in the literature, they are wired to accept a light kit. We purchased a Hunter light kit for one of the fans, and it works perfectly.

Honest reviews on Hunter 20803 52-Inch White Low Profile III Fan

Fan operates very quietly and looks great. I agree with other reviewer(s) that parts of the installation guide are unclear, particularly the steps about mounting the bracket to your ceiling. Based on your ceiling and home builder the steps may not apply and leave you to your own determinations. If you've previously installed a ceiling fan in your home then you may not have any difficulty.

Although a little frustrating, it wasn't too difficult to overcome the installation guide and I'm very happy with the result. The fan looks and performs great.

I saw this exact same lamp while shopping in a medium to high-end, independent furniture store (i.e. not a chain store where everything is cookie cutter style), and fell in love with it. It was priced at a bit more than I wanted to pay for a floor lamp so I wrote the model number down and decided to think about it for a few days. I checked Amazon and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had it and the price was $40 less than what the furniture store was asking plus free shipping so I decided to order it and cross my fingers that it really was the same lamp I saw in the store. It just arrived today (less than 48 hours after I ordered it!!!!) I put it together in a matter of minutes, stuck a light bulb in and am absolutely thrilled with my purchase. Everything is sturdy and well made right from the base and "stem" down to the on/off pull chain. The shade is very unique which is one of the things that attracted me it's made of rice paper with a subtle leaf pattern embedded in it. Highly recommend this!
