Do not buy unless you like wiring Anonymous reviewerYou need to wire this into a ceiling rose. It’s not clear when you bug it off the shelf. I cannot install due to the height of the ceiling over my staircase. Utterly pointless to see. Shade be just a normal shade. Either £55 wasted or a return visit to Ikea. Don’t bother buying 1
Check before fitting Anonymous reviewerLove these shades so much. Had one in my last house and decided to put two up in my new living room. After they were fitted noticed that they are two completely different colours. One is a light whitish colour the other a dark golden honey. Jarring every time I look at them. 3
Needs to be sold as just a shadeAnonymous reviewerThis should come with the option of just buying the shade. Not everyone wants or needs to replace the whole light fixture but we are made to buy one anyway as we want the shade. This needs addressed. 4
Looks niceAnonymous reviewerLooks nice and even better when the light is on. But I wish it was just a shade, it would be more renter friendly. Or at least to come with an option to remove the cable. 3
Lovely lampAnonymous reviewerLove this lamp, its very stylish, had it for a long time , never had any problems.5
Great product Anonymous reviewerLove this wicker tear lampshade. The only downside is that the wire is black and I wish it was white as the ceiling ring is white! I have had to source a white cover for the wire. 4
So pleased it comes in the smaller size too!Anonymous reviewerI saw this item in the showroom and it was too big for a smaller room. Then I realised it comes in the smaller size! Beautiful bamboo, and gives a lovely warm light. Perfectly compliments NORDKISA range.5
beautiful but not fit for purposeAnonymous reviewerNowhere in the description does it explain that a ceiling hook is required. I thought this was a lampshade, not a light fitting with unusual connections. It was incredibly finnicky to install, and then when installed it didn't work. The cable is too long and the ceiling fitting is cheap looking. I'm trying to return and IKEA is making it impossible.
Really don't buy!1
Does not come with all partsAnonymous reviewerBe aware that you will require a ceiling hook which does not come with the light. As well the ceiling black bit is plastic. Electronic bits for the wiring do not inspire confidence.2
Looks great but a faffAnonymous reviewerHad to get a sparky out to come and fit it, didn't realise that we needed extras such as the hook.3
Lovely Lampshade, Odd FittingsAnonymous reviewerI love the lampshades and the two different sizes make a lovely contrast in my home. However, why is the BIG ceiling fitting in black plastic and the actual electric cable also in black when most homes have white or light coloured ceilings. I had three fitted and managed to replace the fitting with white ones. They would have looked terrible in black. This plastic is now useless and wasted.4
Poorly designed fittingsAnonymous reviewerThe lamp looks ok but is complicated to fit and requires extra bits not supplied.
It's really plasticy and not what I would expect from Ikea1
Sinnerlig pendant ceiling lamp Anonymous reviewer I had to get someone to help me install them as I didn’t realise it was the full light fitting that was included at the time of purchasing them. Really love them. 5
why not include the integral hook??Anonymous reviewerAfter a 40 min drive to ikea I've come home and I need a ceiling plate/hook to put the blooming thing up!! Why not just sell this as a lampshade?! Cannot get the hook delivered, have to go back or find something from B&Q.
SO ANNOYING.
It looks alright, but it is definitely not worth this trouble. Who know how long this is going to take to get up. 2
Horrible to install but visually greatAnonymous reviewerBy far the worst ikea product I have ever had to install/construction. Absolute nightmare. Now that I have installed it it looks great but I have no confidence in the electrical connections as it required a lot of force to get the wires in place so the base would lie flat against ceiling. There is no way to check the connections aren't damaged without removing from ceiling, but then the same problem would occur when reattaching. There must be a simpler way for it all to fit together. Terrible design and cables are way too long. Now have to weigh up whether to pay an electrician to come and double check the fitting. Very disappointed in the poor technical design but love the overall look of the light.
I agree with a different commenter - absolutely need to just sell as a shade, not the whole fitting!! Then it would be 5/5 from me.3
Anti consumerAnonymous reviewerWhy is this not a simple light shade? What a waste of time and money.1
Striking shade Anonymous reviewerWe just needed one more to finish our lounge/dining area .. looks fabulous !!
Makes a real statement .5
Missing hookAnonymous reviewerNice lamp but nowhere on the box or the website - (despite a sarcastic ikea employee previously writing in the comments that this information is in the good to know page), nowhere informs you that you need to purchase the ceiling hook separately. The article just says complete with an overpriced lightbulb. Secondly this information is not obvious in the shop which is how I bought the item. Originally thought it was a lampshade. Disappointed to find it was a pendant light which I am prepared to fit the parts are incomplete. Drove 30 miles to ikea.... 60 mile round trip to be missing a 50p item. Should be included. Not impressed 2
ChrisAnonymous reviewerReally nice lampshade. Bought two of these and they look great.5
Disappointed Anonymous reviewerI’m disappointed that you don’t sell this as a simple lamp shade - forget the light fixture which is so complicated to install.
I would have been happy with this if it was just the lamp shade! At least give the option to buy it with or without! 2
