Hard to find lightbulb!,
I received this lamp as a gift. The lamp itself is OK — it looks a little cheap b/c the cord & switch dangle on the outside of the lamp pole, and it’s also a bit wobbly, but, the upper lamp throws nice light. However, the real issue I have is finding a lightbulb for the small reading lamp! After trying 3 different specialty lightbulbs (all either too big or too small of a base) I read the reviews on Amazon & realized that the reading light takes an R14 “Intermediate base” lightbulb. The sticker on the lamp doesn’t specify that, and apparently that size bulb is not carried by major retailers in the greater Green Bay, WI, area! So, I have had the lamp for about 2 months now & haven’t a bulb for the reading lamp. I’m hoping I can buy the correct size bulb on Amazon & finally get to use the reading lamp! Fingers crossed…!!!

|Two different light bulbs required,
I am disappointed with this lamp. First of all the flexible reading arm takes an intermediate size base for the bulb to fit. That means that you can’t yet easily find LED bulbs for this part of the lamp. The whole thing of finding the “right” based bulb was off-putting and there are no hints as to what to look for. It ends up being a ceiling fan bulb and comes in mostly clear glass. Not reader friendly on the eyes! You must still make sure the bulb says intermediate base or it will not fit. Second the switches are placed on an exposed cord that runs the full length of the lamp. That means you have to be close enough to the main tube to turn on the reading lamp. It would be the same as having an extension cord the length of the lamp with a double switch in the middle to turn the lamp on and off. The lamp was not expensive and I guess I got what I paid for.

|Perfect for Small space,
Very easy to assemble, looks very good for the price, top lamp good for brighter room ambiance with the gooseneck lamp handy when there is no space on desk or no table nearby for reading lamp. Appreciate that bulb type and number is printed right on the lamp so one doesn’t have to look up a piece of paper later.
