Review on πŸŒ™ Black and Antique Brass Mid-Century Swiveling Wall Sconce by Rivet, 11"H, with Bulb - Amazon Brand by Drew Serrano

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap and dangerous

Being a "Revain brand" these things are cheap and potentially dangerous despite the price. I bought 2 of these lamps and had no problems with the first one until I started rotating it and the bottom of the bracket fell out of the assembly (see photo). It wasn't a deal breaker as I was able to put it back in as long as I didn't move the device (it's positioned to be adjustable so obviously that feature doesn't work). I installed the second bracket, and when I installed the bulb, all the threads of the socket broke and fell out. No excessive force, the usual twisting of a lightbulb, and suddenly my composure broke. I have read several reviews of the Rivet brand which have consistently stated that they are cheap and patchy. I should have paid attention to these reviews.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Bad impression
