Poorly fittedKristianAbsolute flimsy garbage.
I thought to myself "how bad could it be? It's $20".
If only I knew.
The body of the lamp must be stretched to the base like a giant slinkee, and the problem with that is the metal rods that acts as structures for the body are not fitted properly. As you're stretching the fabric of the lamp, the rods will literally fall out because they're too small for their holes.
And the rods will fall out over and over again. And it WILL drive you crazy.
Forget my refund, I'll pay you $20 to get this garbage out of my apartment.1
Bad structurePrabhaWhile assembling the whole part turn by turn it wouldn't get sturdy at all. Looks like the basic design wasn't properly studied and good for a long term investment. Getting the whole figure thing together was a big trouble itself. When I was done with the whole thing its structure turn out to be tilted in a side, no matter what I cannot make it straight. Putting the paper thing was another story, got torn on a side while trying to fit it. But it does look good when you lit the warm light. I wish you guys have studied more better structure and framework for this. It is a really good and beautiful lamp.3
paper ripped during assemblyJackcannot get the lamp shade onto the ring thing. paper ended up ripping1
Impossible to assembleAbdullahI am extremely disappointed. I am a student and thought this lamp would be cool for my dorm. Little did I know that the lamp shade would rip during assembly - not out of user error - due to there being no place to grip it. I do not recommend at all1
Ouch!!!AndraVery difficult to put together without puncturing the shade on the final snap. Actually caught skin on side of my index finger and created huge bruise and blister, hurts a week later. Got it to stand straight but wouldn’t buy it again.3
Will not stay assembledAmyGreat basic lamp. I had high hopes for it, but no matter what I do, it just falls apart since the “legs” keep falling out of the sockets to put them into, which seem poorly made. Really disappointed since ikea’s less expensive stuff is still good quality, but this seems to be an exception.2
Not idealMareahSo at first this lamp was very cute when I was in the store, but then after purchase I realized a couple things.
1. Extremely hard to put the shade on all the way. It ripped at the bottom.
2. It worked for about two days and now it will not turn on. I’ve tried different outlets, different bulbs and nothing will work. 2
Check them out for yourself!QuincyThese lamps are amazing! I just moved into my apartment and due to my space I couldn't decide between a lamp with multiple lights or something that stood out. I stumbled upon these at ikea and knew they would be great. I bought two and have them on both sides of my tv. They help add more character to the room and they are pretty bright. Great if you want to have a mood light type of setting! I would be careful with putting the shade on as it can tear easily but it's a lamp and for the most part it'll stand there and do it's job. If you're thinking about it, go for it! I highly recommend and for the price it's an amazing value.5
Small, cheap…. Think twice JackieIf you want this for a baby nursery or kid play room, get it, but it’s garbage and I just wasted $30 on two of them because I don’t live close to an IKEA to return them and it would be too much trouble. These are like 3 feet tall. Ridiculous 1
No goodAnonymous reviewerGreat on design, way short on execution2
