The lamp just simply does not produce much light. I was expecting similar output to a halogen desk lamp, but the LED lamp is more like a flashlight than anything else. The design is still pretty cool. I do like the goose-neck, and the base is heavy enough that the neck can be twisted around without tipping over.

2 stars for design.


can someone find cheaper versions of these chandeliers?
I am getting a chandelier for my relatively small room so size matters.Under $50 if possible http://cgi.ebay.com/French-chic-shabby-3-arm-petite-white-chandelier-FPtd_W0QQitemZ350143130568QQcmdZViewItemQQptZChandeliers?hash=item350143130568&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A4|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A200http://www.pbteen.com/products/p2113/popup.cfm?tool=vLarger&fromrgl=&pkey=cchandeliers-pendant-lighting

Elegance and beauty start with white. The reason why Shabby Chic decorators choose to paint and decorate with all white and antique white furniture, is because it absolutely goes with everything!! Even if you have small children you can still enjoy the beauty of white. Yes you might need to keep up on your dusting, but your home will remain cheerful, cozy and well worth it. White bed room furniture is very versatile. The other wonderful thing about white bedroom furniture is that you can paint your walls any color.

White does have options....you can either choose a matte finish for your white furniture, a semi-gloss finish or high gloss finish. You can even choose Antique White to paint your furniture. Antique white is a bit of an off white. It mixes very well with other pure white furniture that is in your home. If you have shabby chic lighting any bleeding through of old oils in your furniture that you sand and refinish, you can use a white primer called Killz....it works wonders while covering any previous paint and wood stains that were on your furniture. You will absolutely love it!

If you choose to decorate your bedroom in shabby chic white furniture, you usually want to use the antique white. To really make your white bed room furniture look stunning you can add Victorian glass knobs that can be found at any hardware store. Many of the shabby chic white bedroom furniture pieces have glass knobs. The glass knobs really stand out beautifully with the antique white furniture as well as with the pure white shabby chic furniture. I just love the glass knobs. The glass knobs add such a feminine look! I have also painted the original knobs of furniture white and sanded them a bit after painting them. It also looks very elegant and fabulous.

You cannot go wrong with white bedroom furniture!

Another option with white furniture is "distressing it". The way to have the distressed and comfortably warn look in your furniture is when you are done painting it, you take a piece of sand paper and lightly sand the edges and all the corners. It gives the furniture a worn antique look. This look is also called "shabby chic". It is very popular and the style in itself is very welcoming and comfortable.

White furniture is great because you can blend every piece of miss matched furniture in your home all with one can of paint! Your home can look like a model home with just a little effort and enthusiasm. So get busy, have fun and let the magic of cozy, homey, elegant and fairytale white begin.

    I purchased this lamp to be a reading lamp for bed. Overall, I am not disappointed. The LEDs are not the super bright variety, but it puts off enough light by which to read.

    My one real complaint is that the goose neck is not strong enough to support its own weight. Either slowly over time or in sudden, jerky motions, the lamp “falls”. this is not catastrophic and it can be overcome with a little twisting, but it is inconvenient, which is why I did not give the lamp 4 stars.

    Overall, this is a good reading lamp and I will continue using it until the next great thing comes along.

    I was very excited about my product while ordering. After I recieved it I loved how small it was and compact. But Not all the crystals are glass and it looks way used when I purchased new. I zoomed in the picture before and after receiving it and they look totally different paint finish wise. I bought something that says it was elagant but it looks antique.

    I have not hung the chandelier yet, but I am very pleased with the look and quality so far. I think it’s going to be a great accent in the nursery.

    Quality and price = Excellence. I was looking for floor lamps for a client’s interior design project and stumbled across the “perfect” lamp at BoConcept for $740.00. The price tag was out of the budget so my avid, on-line search began. After a lot of shopping and reviewing, I hit the jackpot once I came upon Amazon’s Adesso Atlas Lamp. In comparrison to BoConcepts lamp, I couldn’t find too many differences except the price. In fact, I liked this lamp so much that I ordered one for my client and one for myself. After an easy assembly, my lamp is now next to my drafting table, in use everyday, provides the perfect amount of lighting for drawing, and is a beautiful accent to my office/studio. I give the Atlas a 5-star rating on all features; lighting, assembly, look, functionality, and price. It’s perfect!

    The dog fan is very cute but unfortunately doesn’t blow air further than an inch from the fan. I sent it back. I did get the pig fan for my girlfriend and she said it blew just fine, not great but fine for on a desk. My husband said the fan in the dog is too small to work properly.

    I purchased this rooster fan as a gift for a very special friend, and she absolutely loved it! It was really a wow item as she unwrapped it, and no one else at the party had ever seen anything like it! I was so impressed by the quality and the uniqueness that I ordered one for myself, and another one for my daughter. People always comment on my rooster fan, which I have in my kitchen. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

    Knew I’d love it before it even arrived. I got this is as a present for someone who loves frogs and whose constantly suffering from the Texas heat. The color was also much prettier than I expected it to be so that was a plus too :)
