Review on 🏑 Kenroy Home Simplicity Wall Swing Arms 30110BRZ - Medium Size in Bronze by Dawn Gutierrez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very nice lamp - some tips/suggestions

We bought two of these bronze lamps to use as reading lamps above or next to the bed. They were well packaged and everything arrived intact. Installation is a little fiddly, but not too bad, although I highly recommend ditching the wall anchors that came with the unit and getting better ones. I used the ones in the box and with the suggested drill the anchors almost completely disappeared into the wall and as a result I didn't think it was securely attached to the wall enough. I'll have to go back and reinstall with better anchors, but thought I'd share this suggestion so maybe someone doesn't make the same mistake. Also, I made the mistake of placing the first one directly in line with the outlet and ended up being too close to use both cord covers, so I had to trim it down with a hacksaw. For the 2nd install I put it on the side of the outlet so if the cord cover turns out to be too long then it doesn't matter. Glad to clarify if this is confusing. Also, I couldn't find this information anywhere in the product description, but it does require a 50/100/150w bulb so it can be as bright as you need it to be. Beautiful lamps at a good price that do not require the installation of electrical appliances. Make sure you pay attention to some details during installation and get better quality anchors and it will save you some heartache.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • poorly thought out
