Adorable, bright, functional
I was so excited when this arrived that I set it up and took pictures of it for this review without staging the photos against a white backdrop, so please excuse the mess and the crazy kitchen countertop color! The color of this lamp is both unobtrusive and pleasing, especially since it goes so very well with the colors I have picked for my new room! I was afraid the lampshade itself would be glass and therefore overly fragile, but it is a sturdy plastic instead. The leaves at the base of the stem on top of the flower are all movable, but still feel relatively sturdy. I was pleasantly surprised to find a rocker switch on the cord, which one uses to turn the lamp on and off. It even came with an LED light bulb so it was instantly usable right out of the box! The posable nature of the lamp will make it great for ambient lighting or focused work, with the added bonus of being adorable in different positions. The feel of the stem is actually quite pleasing. The bottom of the lamp is covered in a soft material which appears to help give it a little traction, but also appears somewhat fragile. There are two tiny chips in the paint of the decorative leaf, but they are not so large and obtrusive that I want to return this and wait for an exchange. If I find that I need another "focus" table lamp for another area in my room, I would get another of these. Read more
