Review on MERIVILLE Pack of 6 Off White Linen Clip On Chandelier Lamp Shades, 4x5x5 Inches by Arun Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cool clips! good for lights and ceiling fans

I'm renovating my apartment for moving in and I want to make a lot of changes. The former chandelier lampshades were of dark green fabric with clasps only about 4 inches high. I wanted to go for a more neutral shade until I decided on a new dining room light. These natural linen clip on curtains fit perfectly! They are neutral but have a texture that makes them more premium than a simple fabric lampshade. The off-white eggshell color with hints of brown also lets in lots of light and makes my dining room much brighter than the previous Hunter Color fabric shades. The only downside that isn't too noticeable is that there is a seam on each brim; it can be positioned at the back of the cord, but at least one seam will always be visible when the light is on. The only way to make the seams less visible is to get a pleated shade. I was happy to find a shade that had some height as many of them are very short. The clip-on also gave me the ability to shift the hue a bit to make it even, although some of the arms were a little crooked. Once I attached the shade, it stayed there without slipping. Also, my chandelier had five arms, so this set of five lights was perfect! They were stacked together in a plastic case that fit in a box that was shipped in another box for safe and undamaged shipping. My cheap chandelier has been transformed!

Pros
  • very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
