First Impressions: Unboxing this lamp felt like unwrapping a rustic treasure! The bronze metal finish and linen shade scream 'farmhouse chic,' instantly elevating my bedroom's vibe. It’s sturdier than expected, though the base is lighter than I’d prefer—pressing the buttons sometimes shifts the lamp slightly.
Lighting Magic: The dual-light feature is a game-changer! The frosted glass nightlight casts a dreamy glow perfect for midnight snack runs, while the main bulb (included—check the small white box!) offers soft, diffused light for reading. Pro tip: The top bulb isn’t super bright, so opt for higher wattage if you need task lighting.
USB Savior: The dual USB ports (A+C!) are clutch. I charge my phone and Kindle simultaneously without hogging outlets. One user mentioned plugging in their USB alarm clock—genius! Cable clutter? Gone.
Assembly Ease: No instructions? No problem! I had it assembled in 5 minutes. The shade clicks on effortlessly, though one reviewer had bulb issues—double-check those connections!
Design Quirks: The rectangular shade might not suit everyone (one buyer replaced theirs), but I adore the industrial-lantern look. At $60, it’s pricier than basic lamps, but the USB ports and vintage charm justify the splurge.
Final Verdict: 4.5/5. Perfect for bedside tables or entryways, especially if you crave charging ports and ambiance. Just add a smart plug (it works!) for voice-controlled cozy nights.
