💡 Simple Designs Home LT2007-GRY, Gray Chrome Mini Basic Table Lamp: Chic Design, Fabric Shade Review

Smaller than expected but it's my fault I didn't read the description carefully enough. The only criticism is that the gray lampshade looks more like a beige one. I really wanted it to match my room. When I tried to insert the bulb, a piece inside the lamb also broke off. I was able to figure it out, but now I have to buy a new lightbulb. Overall, I like to keep lamps given the low price.

It was hard to find a nice "mini" table lamp. This one looks great and is the right size. I wish there was a brushed nickel base instead of a polished nickel base, but that suits me. I put a smart bulb in this lamp and can dim it and change colors with Alexa. It serves as a night light (dimmed to 3%) and a way to charge my solar powered watch during the day as my bedroom gets enough natural light to sneak into the watch box.

I ordered two of these lamps. One of them only lasted a week. I turned it on and there was a loud popping sound. I thought it was just a bulb (small bulbs perfect for the low light in the bedroom) but I replaced it with one that I knew was powered by another bulb and it still wouldn't turn on. I even changed the outlets. He's just dead. I left the lampshade as a spare and threw it away. Of course these are cheap bulbs, I'm not expecting anything heavy but I expect them to last a reasonable…
