This lamp is one of the best items I have purchased
This lamp is one of the best items I have purchased, for its really good looks, its sturdiness, and the very-controllable light-output. My lamp is brushed satin chrome. The dimmer switches are easy-use firm 'clunk' switches which I really like and not loose and woolly It sits in the corner of my room and the light-output is anything from very low and discreet right up to full-on brightness which will brightly fill the whole of a medium-sized room if that's what you want it to do.I could not understand why many people found this lamp so difficult to assemble or suggested that it is 'cheap' or may fail sometime fairly soon. It takes a bit of thinking for a few minutes but the instructions and diagrams are easy to follow and quite clear enough. It is probably best to have a helping hand due to the length of the uprights while gently drawing-up the pre-configured cables back through the upright poles but it was not at all difficult. Everything screwed neatly into place exactly as per the instructions. The base of the unit is lovely, quite heavy, and supports the whole unit very well indeed, with no tilting or swaying. Just ensure you screw the components together properly and tighten any nuts that they show you to do. Even the proper size spanner is included.Absolutely ensure that you separately purchase the stated Halogen lamps that are specifically suited to this product so please don't moan that they don't supply these with the uplighter unit, For those who may not be aware or familiar a Halogen lamp is a hot strip-type bulb if you like to think of this way (nothing whatsoever like an LED lamp) and was very easy to slot into the main light unit but I do confess it was harder to fit-in the much smaller Halogen lamp into the mini down-lighter part of the overall unit. My lady partner has slender fingers and this helped a lot (a little difficult with fat fingers). NEVER, EVER hold the glass of a cold Halogen lamp with bare fingers as this will considerably shorten its life-span after you finally turn it on. Hold the Halogen lamps ONLY by the supplied foam-wrap that comes wrapped on the lamp, or some tissue paper, (but MAKE SURE you remove the foam wrap or tissue paper before turning on the actual lamps).A fabulous product with pride of place in my room. I highly recommend this product, and no I do not work for the company nor have any loyalties with them, nor any incentives whatsoever. I just love this uplighter lamp. It's very good looking, sturdy, reliable, and incredible value for money. The delivery service was prompt with ongoing email advices all of the way.My sincere thanks to the supplier and the supply-chain. I'm a very satisfied customer..

A lovely lamp with a few minor grumbles!
Firstly, the good things. This is a lovely lamp; perfect for what we needed. We have a large room that only has a central light fitting so we needed something to light a far corner, where my husband sits and does his jig-saw puzzles. The 'daughter' bendy part is perfect for that, being able to direct the light exactly where he needs it. The uplighter is also an excellent light and the dimmer feature means that, if either of us should need to get up in the night, we can switch the uplighter on in it's dim setting, which is enough to see by without the horrible glare.Now for the not-so-good. Firstly, the lamp comes packed in thick plastic, which has to be cut with scissors all the way up (with all the fuss about plastic these days, I'm not sure that's a good thing; thick paper would be more eco-friendly). Secondly, it was not that easy to put together - especially by a man who never reads instructions! Screws that needed unscrewing had been done up so tight that he really struggled. Thirdly, we weren't able to position to lamp exactly where we'd planned because the cable isn't long enough to reach the socket; it could do with a longer cable (Although I realise that isn't going to be a requirement for some rooms). Fourthly, and this is the one that most annoyed my husband, it comes without the bulbs. To be fair, it does say it comes without the bulbs, but we think it should come with one bulb for each light because then we can see what they are like for future reference.For those four reasons, we give this product only four stars out of five, although we love the lamp.

Looks great
Really pleased. Looks stylish. Bought it for the bedroom. It's good that it's dimmable. Throws off some good lighting. It's ideal if you just want to read with the lower light. Very happy.

Buy lots of bulbs 🙄
So I bought this 15th September 2022. Lovely lamp to brighten the dark corner in my living which was newly decorated.Sadly, now the bad stuff. Like another reviewer said the glass casing is a pain to remove to change the bulb as you have to unscrew each end of the metal holding said glass casing but one screw no longer screws in so it just rests there.The main gripe I have is the frequency I have to change the main bulb. I've tried many brands of J118 bulbs, costing me a small fortune but to no avail. Sometimes even twice month. This tells me it's the lamp with the issue not the bulbs. I started keeping a record of each bulb change which I will post. Can't keep paying out for bulbs like this so will be looking for a new lamp.So basically I do not recommend this lamp unless you're happy to pay out for limitless bulbs.

Not worth the money
First of I believe the Seller has deliberately tried to hide the fact there are no bulbs with this lamp. Other sellers are cheaper (by £8), and say in the title (No bulbs included), this seller has hidden this fact in the product descriptionSecondly, the g9 cover is fiddly when trying to fit/replace bulbs won't be long before the glass cracks.Thirdly, instructions say 117mm R7 bulb, but the standard is 118mm, so which one is it?Fourthly and most annoying is it rocks. If you switch on or touch the light, it rocks backwards and forwards, which is infuriatingI bought 2 of these at the same time, and I am still deciding if they should go back.

Good value for money but not to everyone's taste
This is a good uplighter, very bright, versatile with the reading light, good dimmer etc. I think some of the parts, especially the glass is a bit cheap/fragile compared to more expensive items but you get what you pay for. I think it look quite nice but my wife thought it cheap looking (we disagree!). Putting it together is incredibly fiddly - sort-of as bad as your average Ikea purchase, if that gives you an impression. That said, I have been using it now for about 5 months and I am very happy with the unit.
