Review on Stylish Antique Nickel and Green Banker's Glass Shade Desk Lamp - Simple Designs LT3216-GRN by Ana Lewis

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality of lamps and lampshades

The foam covering the base has only been stretched in half and sealed with glue under the rim, causing it to wobble and also a hazard due to the exposed metal rim representing wood. Speaking of exposed metal edges, the mid-shaft has open seams that give the impression that something was meant to be an insert, but instead leaves semi-sharp edges and perfect foam-seal slots. I had to dig it out with flimsy tools, it broke the styrofoam out from the inside. The T-bracket was curved to reflect the actual lampshade at a slight angle up and to the left, so I had to mount it on the right side of my desk to hide the defect as best as possible. While holding the screen in the desired position, I needed extra pressure from my hands against the glass to tighten the screws. Having transparent pads to hold the shadow is obviously ugly and doesn't even do its job. The white lampshade also had a few pits from glass manufacturing flaws. Generally spend more if you want something for your office. I would be ashamed if the customer saw that. I only spent $22 on it for my guest room and it's not worth the hassle of repacking and shipping back so I'll make do for me.

Pros
  • Pull chain ON/OFF switch
Cons
  • Fits
