Spotlight on valueJimGreat desk lamp, I use it all the time.5
Keeps Falling Off — Not Worth It JeonguiAt first, it was okay, but now the lamp head keeps falling off all the time, and it’s almost useless. On top of that, it scratched the wall, and it hasn’t even been three months yet. The lamp head keeps coming off like that. LOL. Honestly, it’s better to just buy a different one.1
Great lamp, but can't tighten screws to stop drooping.Anonymous reviewerI've had two of these for years. They are great EXCEPT they tend to droop, and the screws can't be tightened by hand. This is a silly design flaw. All they need is butterfly screws on the joints so you can easily tighten them by hand. Please improve this product and I'll buy more.3
Great lamp for my deskHeidiI have a fairly old desk and always had one of those lamps. It was time for something new, and I was thrilled when I found this exact same one.5
FallsPablineIt would be nice if worked but is a waist of money keeps falling 1
Value for moneyRahulThis lamp for just $19 is a great grab! I installed it on my craft table and now I can adjust the light and temperature. It’s perfect for content creation, reading, and small art and craft projects. The movable arms allow me to position it almost anywhere. One thing to consider is that you’ll need some space under your table top to hold onto it.4
Lamp on an armAlannahThis is a great lamp which swivels where it is needed most. Very happy purchase.5
keeps fallingAngelineThe lamp keeps falling and doesn't stay in place. the screw is tighten and still falls. some of the screw cannot be adjusted. NOT RECOMMEND1
Keeps fallingKhawaja MohsinOverall, the quality looks good. Good finishing. But the lamp base keeps falling if mounted on a sloped surface.3
NOT 3rd AT ALLChrisBought to replace my old Tertial that gave up the ghost. Bit disappointed with the old one - only got 20+ years out of it. Alright, it was a garage work-lamp = covered in paint, oil, dust, rust, had numerous dings and did finally 'die' when it got soaked after a severe thunderstorm took part of the roof. Seriously, the Tertial's are dirt cheap, robust as a tank, look good and the two mounting options are great, so couldn't recommend the Tertial highly enough.5
Good and flexible lampSher LynnSatisfied with purchase. Flexible lamp. Economical. 5
Great light - very adjustableBenWorked really well attaching to my sons bed head 5
Great attached to my headboardSharnayGreat for direct light (which I use for reading) or ambient light5
LighrMarinaGreat desk lamp moveable to suit angles5
Functional lamp!EloiseBought this after searching everywhere for an artist-style lamp to put at my desk. Admittedly, the lamp might be a little bit big for my space, but it functions wonderfully. It spreads the light evenly across my desk and is adjustable to meet whatever position I need it in - it also comes with a wall attachment. I probably wouldn't get the bulb they recommend on their site if you intend to use this for creating art under, as it's a bit yellow - but that isn't a problem with the lamp! Overall; seemingly sturdy, nice finish, good light spread, easily adjustable :)5
Awesome product HongCheap, versatile, stylish and functional, it's the best product I have purchased and looked for. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.👍5
Nice color! Wei-ChenI’m glad that I have chosen the blue lamp despite the black one can match any room. There is only one thing I don’t like, which is why this lamp isn’t whole blue including the bottom, just like the black lamp one. 5
Great light VictoriaI have about 3 of these in my sewing room with br8ght daylight globes in them, and I love them. So handy to just pull them where you need to5
Best lighting I can find for workbenches/desksYvesBest lighting I can find for workbenches/desks including the kitchen workbench. We also use it for camping with a 12v bulb ... we've got 6 of them in total at home.5
Great quality, space saverRobertI have multiple Tertials at home for my work desk because they're a great space saver. By connecting to the edge of my desk I am able to fill it out with my computer and papers. It also looks alright as long as you like the industrial look. They're cheap too so replacing them wasn't too much of an issue. Just keep an eye on the bulbs, I thought it was a cable issue but in the end the light bulb was the reason for my grief.4

Material

What is steel?

Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
