Review on kwmobile Puzzle Pendant Lamp Shade - Cherry Blossom DIY Jigsaw Lampshade - for Hanging Ceiling Light or Floor Lamp - 15.7" (40cm) Diameter - White by Natasha Williams

Much easier than an infinity puzzle!

kwmobile also sells infinity puzzles, these lampshades are made from identical flexible plastic pieces that snap together to form a large ball. If you've ever collected one of these, fear not! It is much easier! I'm glad I collected an endless shade but never again! It's a nerve-wracking exercise, it's very easy to make a mistake in the middle and then quit an hour's work and start over. And the end result is quite brittle - trying to insert the bulb + hanging cord/rod there's a constant fear of the whole thing falling apart. On the contrary, this pineapple is very easy to harvest; Just follow the directions exactly as they are printed. You don't need to be particularly dexterous or good with your hands, and once you see the drawing it's pretty much a pointless exercise. The end result isn't as mesmerizing as the endless shadow, but still pretty darn cute! And most importantly, it has a large hole for inserting a lightbulb. You can even put a socket splitter in there, allowing you to pack in two or even three lightbulbs (use LEDs, of course, so the heat isn't too intense) if you need a brighter light. Tip: If you find that the hole in the top is too big for your particular pendant, go to a hardware store and find a washer with an inner hole that fits your pendant and an outer diameter large enough to to hold the lampshade.
