Not as orange and warmSergioIt is a sleek look but when turned on the lamp doesn't give off the orange glow that you're expecting, still not bad, just a bit more white than expected4
LovelyJaniceReminds me of a donut or lifesaver candy. Beautiful 😍5
Own one and gifted oneStephanieI've had one for about 4 years now and my Daughter constantly asks when I'm going to be sick of it so I can gift it to her. I don't think I'll ever get sick of it and decided I needed to just buy her one. It gives off the best ambience in a room. You will not regret buying one.5
Just gorgeous!!CarolThis lamp is cozy, warm, gorgeous, and cool. i LOVE IT x7 I love it x7 oop! 5
Stylish and simpleMarekVery nice looking light giving soft pleasant warm ambience 5
Warm but not adjustableSanikaI wish there was an adjustable light strip that this came with. It’s not terrible but would help in coordinating all the house lights 4
NecessaryPatriciaYou’ve seen it online. You’ve seen it at friends homes. It is cute, and it radiates coziness. Some reviews point out that the light does not look exactly like the pictures show. That’s true. Mine looks more yellowy, not like the Werther’s candy’s deep richness. But when it is on, it does radiate a rich golden glow like an artificial sunset anywhere you need it. Get it! 5
Beautiful and fun designAleksandraPurchased this light for my new bedroom and I am absolutely in love with the design and the warm glow. So when I saw that it only had 4.2 stars on the website I was somewhat surprised. Upon reading the reviews - I can see what happened. I think, if you are looking for an extremely consistent, cookie-cutter, just-off-the-production line look - this lamp may not be for you. It’s a hand made glass piece, so it will naturally come with slight variations in color and texture, which, if you are into hand-made products that have character, only makes it more interesting and beautiful. The lamp does have a soft, warm glow. I would agree that it is not orange. I also prefer it that way as this color is what I was looking for and it is more functional for daily use as a bedside lamp or an extra light source for any other room. Given that most IKEA products are more uniform/identical, it may be a surprise to some buyers. However, I think it is one of the best lamps/decor pieces I’ve ever owned. 5
LampMarcGreat shape, great lighting, and warms up the room.5
Neither great, nor terrible...ChaseWhile the item isn’t terrible, it’s definitely overpriced for what you get. The color is a major letdown: it’s a warm yellow in person, not the vibrant orange shown in the photos. Like other reviewers noted, the interior has a matte finish that resembles a cheap spray paint job. It’s not quite disappointing enough to return, but for $70, I expected the rich orange glow that was advertised.

LightAnnaI like the style of the light, it was easy to assemble and hang up.

Not at all like the pictures.DylanUsually IKEA's product photos are relatively faithful, but I'll echo the warning that these ones are incredibly misleading, if not outright deceitful.
This lamp when turned on is *less* orange than some regular 2200k warm white LED bulbs I had already; it gives off a pale greenish yellow glow instead. I'll try the orange tape trick mentioned elsewhere but feel it really shouldn't be necessary just to get it to resemble the ad. 2
SO cute!!!IrisDidn’t realize when buying this it was made of glass and handmade! It’s absolutely adorable in our space, and gives off a good amount of light at night. I wouldn’t use this as your only light source at night if you’re planning on hanging out in that space, but all you need is one more lamp of some kind (we have a long edison bulb) to create a perfectly cozy atmosphere!5
Cheaply made, Inaccurate Pictures JackThere are bubbles in the glass, and the "matte" finish that the light shines through on the inside is uneven, not unlike a cheap can spraypaint job. Not a warm glow like the pictures. Aliexpress quality from a once reputable retailer.1
Nice lamp! Needs a small adjustment ZaneGreat lamp but comes out of the box a bit washed out. Got some transparent orange tape/vinyl and covered the LED and now its a great warm orange 4
Soft and warm accent lightRobertThe Varmblixt is exquisite and a good price to boot. It casts a soft warm light in a cold dead world.5
I love the ligh!LillianMy light adds such beautiful ambiance to my space5
I finally got oneCarolynOh my goodness, this light is the hardest thing to get, but Eureeka, I finally got one. I am pleased with it, after this long wait, It is brighter than I thought it would be, but to me this is good, when it comes to brightness, some is good more is better. 5
Amazing light StephanieI was so lucky to get this light, it always sold out, the color is amazing and the hue of the light is beautiful. I love it! I would definitely recommend if you can get your hands on one. 5
Better in PersonJosephI'm very impressed with this light and it looks even better in person. For the price, I think it's a great value and provides an amazingly soft light, almost like a sunrise or sunset.
My only complaint is the cord. It comes wrapped and when you unbox it, it's hard to get straight, so if you hang it from the wall, it hangs like squiggly line. 5
