?? INTRO: • ? So, what’s in the package? ◦ ? 1 x Designer Table Lamp ◦ ? 1 x Brown Silk Lampshade • ? Tell me about it ◦ ? Let me introduce you to this stunning designer table lamp, a contemporary addition to my home décor. I like that it's a perfect blend of modern aesthetics and functionality, ideal for elevating my (or any) living space. ◦ ? This corded electric lamp combines a unique, modern style with durability and gives off a soft, warm glow depending on what wattage of bulb is used, though the product description states that “This lamp is powered by 150 watt bulb, not included.” The bulb base is a standard “E26.” ◦ ? To see the beauty of this lamp lit up, please refer to the product description, image #5.?? WHAT DO I THINK? (My first thoughts & impressions) • ? Though the packing was secure and the lamp arrived in good condition. The tall box that arrived was typical cardboard with the company name and logo at the top and various package details at the bottom. Disappointingly, there was no image or picture of the lamp displayed.More horrifyingly, the typical thick styrofoam sides and bottom that secure the lamp in place for transit was *very* difficult to try to get out and pieces kept breaking off very easily and annoyingly getting everywhere. As I tried to find a place to get a grip to lift the lamp up and out, the styrofoam continued creating that instant styro-snow (as I call it), shedding those little annoying styrofoam balls and flakes like a mini-snowstorm; on my table, on the box, on the floor, on me. Eventually I was able to fully extract the lamp then pick up all the styro-mess to put back into the box. What an experience THAT was. ?? • ? Extracting the box’s contents revealed the base, lamp, plug, and shade all wrapped in protective plastic. Now the fun part came when trying to get the plastic off of the shade because it was wrapped in and around itself from the outside to the inside and back again, kind of like unraveling a gift. The lamp and base were also wrapped in plastic but that was easier to remove. • ? Once able to isolate the lamp, I was pleased with its sleek and unique design and premium build quality. It was pretty and shiny and the shade was soft and beautiful. • ? Upon attempting to assemble the base I quickly learned that this lamp does things differently. Usually the connection ring is at the *top* of a lamp shade, but when I tried putting it on that way it sank down and hid most of the lamp. I had to flip it around so the ring was at the *bottom* to be able to screw it to the connector. When I did that, the shade sat correctly and I could see the full lamp properly.?? IS IT WORTH IT? (What’s the value for the money) • ? In terms of value for money, this lamp truly shines. (See what I did there? LOL). I personally like the exquisite design, durable metal construction, and silk shade, which to me made it a worthy investment for enhancing my home décor. My current lamps are boring anyway. • ? This cool lamp stands out for its attention to detail and timeless elegance. It offered me both style and functionality at an affordable price point.?✨ KEY FEATURES PROs & CONs (What did I like & dislike) • ✔️ I really like how the lamp features a modern gold-painted sturdy metal stand and a beautiful brown silk shade, giving me durability, elegance, sophistication. Not bad, huh? Its compact size made it suitable for various locations I tried placing it in, from my bedroom to my living room. And to give you an idea of its size, the measurements are: 8.25" W x 5.25" D x 17.25" H. • ✔️ With easy plug-in functionality and an on/off switch, this lamp offers convenience and versatility. The 150-watt bulb (not included) provides ample illumination for reading, working, or simply creating a cozy ambiance. • ✔️ It has easy plug-in functionality and an on/off switch, and requires a 150-watt bulb (not included) to provides me with ample illumination for reading, working, or simply creating a cozy ambiance. • ✔️ While the lamp boasts exceptional design and functionality, I really don’t like the absence of a warranty which is a minor drawback and made me wonder why the company doesn’t offer one. However, considering its quality construction, this wasn’t a significant concern for me. • ❌ I guess we are restricted to using *only* (?) a *150*-watt bulb, which to me seems very unusual and doesn’t make sense. It is certainly not something I’ve ever had the need for or shopped for. And the company does *not* say if any other wattage would work in the lamp, although when testing it I did use a 60-watt soft white bulb. • ❌ Be constructive in your criticism and offer suggestions for improvement?⚙️ PERFORMANCE & USER FRIENDLINESS (Did it work & was it easy to use) • ? As I mentioned before, I struggled with removing it from the box without making a mess and then with the backwards assembly process, making it *not* so user-friendly. Once those are done, things got easier. I simply plugged it into my US wall outlet and was good to go. The corded electric design didn’t get in the way and the on/off switch allowed for easy operation. • ? Its compact size meant that I could put it almost anywhere.?✅ SUMMARY & CONCLUSION:This is a good addition to any home décor and for me enhanced the ambiance of my living room. I really liked how it looked there so I didn’t end up trying it in any other room (yet). The durable construction and easy-to-use features made it a reliable choice for me, despite having no warranty.
