National Lighting Mother and Child Floor Lamp with Adjustable Reading Light & Dimmer Switch - Intertwined Uplighter Floor Lamp Father and Son Lamp - Satin Chrome Finish - R7s/G9 Bulbs (Not Included) [Energy Class D]

This was purchased for my father in law to help with reading as he has a cataract and requires more light. It is a little fiddly to put together, but worth it. Both lights are very bright, but both can be controlled by seperate dimmers to a soft glow if needed. It is nice you can have a choice of which light you can use, independently or on together. My father in law tends to just use the top light as have sufficient brightness with it on. The light is situated behind his chair, with the controls at easy reach. It is very rare the main room light is on due to this light being bright enough, but can equally have a lovely glow when you wish to dim it. The silhouette is pleasant and the design of the twist in the stalk is unusual and eye pleasing. A must buy!

This stylish and attractive lamp arrived quickly and in good order. It is sturdy and efficient and I would recommend it.

I had not realised so much assembly was required. That was a frightening experience as I felt it would be so easy to damage during handling and it would be my responsibility, unclaimable. Quite a bit to do to make it right and the instructions not the clearest (but also not the worst). I am unsure whether a little plastic white "top hat" on the cable was travel or proper fitting - I could not assemble with it on the cable so took off.Heavy to handle and I needed a step stool to finish off the top bulb insertion and setting the glass in. Surprised it is glass and not acrylic or less fragile material.I also believed I had selected "satin chrome" but "antique brass" arrived and, checking order details that is correct. Whether my error or a technical glitch (see another issues below*), I don't know so be certain before pressing Buy that you have what you want and check the order details after purchase but before dispatched. Not upset as the brass effect is very subtle.An additional check after placing order if, as I did, you chose "Frequently bought together in order to have the bulbs, is to look at your order page as soon as purchase made. Amazon may have a faulty link as it substituted the bulb for adjustable lamp for the same as for the main lamp. Ordering on my phone, I did not see this and the wrong bulb arrived today*. As the three items are not from the same seller, it is difficult to report the error.Regarding the smaller lamp, the screws appear to be glued in (see Questions and other reviews). To remove the lens, I resorted to bending the tabs back (like those that secure the backs in photo frames) - not the ideal solution.In position, it does look good and gives a nice controllable light by dimmer switch. Only takes halogen bulbs, so do not touch with bare hands as skin oil can damage.

Once assembled, this is a pleasant looking piece that works very well. The main bowl light in particular is excellent. It is, however, fiddly to put together, and you really need to place it in a corner out of harms way because it is not very sturdy.

Extremely awkward to assemble, but that maybe because I’m wheelchair bound so couldn’t do some aspect without standing. Got round that by putting it on the sofa. But once assembled it’s wonderful. Extremely bright, very very sturdy, well worth the money. Be warned though It doesn’t come with Bulbs.

nice looking lamp, but the switch stopped working in 2 days.they need to fix the operating features

Very pleased and really bright

This lamp, a little tricky to put together, looks amazing, sleek and modern and good level of light
