Review on Globe Electric 52097 Desk Brass by Kim Bell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Maybe $30 isn't enough for a decent lamp?

In short, especially for the matte black variant, the lamp is of really bad quality. The black finish is incredibly sloppy and makes a $30 lamp look like trying to make a $10 lamp. Intelligent LED lamp KASA - KL125P2). The outside of the lamp has a matte black finish (albeit of poor quality), and the inside of the lamp base is reflective white paint (which is a good thing as the white light is diffused evenly). The switch is a cord rotary switch (ratchet wheel). There are some vents on the back of the lamp head (which let light through), I haven't had any heat issues, but please note I'm using an LED lamp. Although for $30 it's a bit picky to complain about the color. I was able to buy a 70" tall O'Bright floor lamp with a high quality matte black paint and no paint defects like this lamp. Floor, but I didn't find that to be a problem (if you need it, this type of lamp is not what you are looking for - Table lamps do not usually point upwards. Adjustable, which can be a limitation if the surface is uneven. - The lamp appears a bit short, excluding the lamp head and three-legged base, about 1 foot (12") at maximum height. The full size 18" covers the top of the lamp head to the lowest point of one of the lamp legs. The lamp head (cylinder) is approximately 4 inches in diameter and approximately 6 inches in length.
