Very satisfied!I did a lot of searching before I ordered this lamp (I even did a rendering of the room I was placing the lamp in and pasted a picture of the lamp in it to see how it would look) - I'm very picky about our furnishings from the perspectives of look, feel & quality. I ordered two of them to be placed along side our fireplace. The lamps came and they were extremely well made and the style was perfect for our great room. I had a problem though - both of them were damaged in shipping (the fitting at the top that help the bulb was broken on both of them). I was dismayed because they were so nice otherwise, and because of the potential hassle of shipping them back. I contacted the company and spoke to Ian. He was very customer focused in how he handled my call. He recognized my order (I'm guessing that this is a small company that takes a personal interest & great pride in their work). He understood the problem and offered two solutions. He would either contact UPS and arrange for the lamps to be returned for repair, or he could send me the parts with instructions to replace them myself (he explained how easy it would be to do) and to keep the boxes in the event I couldn't do it and he would then arrange for return. I chose to have him send me the parts. I called him on Friday - the parts arrived on Monday. They were just as easy to replace as he indicated. The lights are beautiful and they work perfect! And even though they were damaged in shipping, this is just about the most satisfying purchasing experience I have ever had - this is due to the quality of the product, but more importantly how Ian handled the situation. I highly recommend this company, their products, their staff, and their personalized approach to business. Paul Szilagyi (Monroe, Michigan) Elegant designFrom both a design standpoint, and functional assessment, this lamp has fit in quite nicely with my modern furniture (combination of Room & Board glass-topped Parsons cocktail/end tables with Crate & Barrel couch and chair). The construction and finish are top quality. Interesting that I do not find appealing the floor lamp version of this design, but the table lamp is nicely proportioned, with minimal visual elements. With an infinitely-variable switch for the bright halogen bulb, the lamp works well for reading, general room lighting, and for television viewing. The frosted glass rests simply upon four round wire axes. I've experienced no problems with reliability or observable manufacturing or assembly defects. The lamp was packed firmly and was delivered without damage. Jay G. (Chicago, IL) Floor lampExactly as pictured, shipped when promised, it's beautiful. James P. (Londonderry, NH) Fabulous lampLooks great. stands sturdy Shelley G. (Short Hills, NJ) Elegant, Adaptable LightingI have three of these table lamps in my house, and have ordered two for my mother's new condo. The lamp's classic modern styling fits beautifully in my mid-century modern living room, and I love the versatility provided by the dimmer switch, conveniently located on the lamp base. At top range, the light is terrific for reading, and, when dimmed, is soft and atmospheric. Terrific design, functionality and quality. Kay H. (Grand Rapids, MI)
