Red Lantern 18" Double Cross Shoji Lamp, Black

What I like: Very easy to put together, basically comes assembled. The switch is a couple feet from the base and it's a nice long cord that feels good, not cheap. It throws a nice diffuse light. I like the little square of light it throws on the ceiling, but that's just me. It's not expensive.What I don't like: at least one of the vertical lattice pieces is noticeably curved or warped, instead of straight. The paper shade would be sooo much prettier if it was a decorative paper like rice paper with texture. It is a much redder than the picture--I expected a more subtle rosewood or cherry wood finish, but this looks like a painted red surface. It is smaller than I anticipated--I have a similar lamp that's just about an inch wider and it that would make this look less like a toy and more like a real lamp.These qualities make it more of a back bedroom-kind of lamp rather than a living room lamp. This could so easily have been a high quality lamp. Corrected they would definitely make it 5 star and I would have paid 25% more to achieve that. By the way the description doesn't say what type or size bulb is required. I got another lamp from Amazon (Wooden Floor Lamp with White Linen Shade Floor...) for not much more that was definitely much higher in quality, larger, and more substantial.

Was looking for Nightllights that fit with an oriental theme and these worked like a charm.Pros: Easy to assemble just fold out and use included tool to fit light socket to the lamp. Looks great.Cons: Might be a bit dim with a regular lightbulbI was afraid that a 60Watt bulb might cause heat issues with the lamp so I went with the slightly more expensive LED 60 watt equivalent bulb which produces no noticeable heat. It is a bit expensive at avg $25 a bulb but it was quite a bit brighter than I had anticipated and works wonderfully Setting on top of a mirrored surface really helps with the light as well as the brightest light obviously shines through the bottom.Can't beat it for the price and I was so happy with the one I tried I got a second one for each side of the bed.

The lamp is beautiful. This item met my expectations and I have used it for several months without any difficulties. The fabric is a rather delicate, partially transparent, and brilliant bleached white Shoji/rice paper. The frame is stable and without defect. I recently purchased a similar make from an Asian store for about 10 dollars less, so I can't say it is the best price available, but it is quite pleasing and I don't regret the purchase.

A little challenge getting the socket attached to the wood piece it sets on. But it's on, and a very snug fit. Could be flimsier. Couldn't have gotten here faster. No errors. No damages. Happy customer. Proportions aren't quite what I expected, wider than I imagined.

This is a great little lamp. It has the switch on the cord, which I like, and is easy to put together. It give just enough soft light to read to, but not so much that you can't fall asleep. It's very nice looking as well.

This lamp is exactly what I was looking for. Clean, pleasant design and good functionality. It gives great light and with the 20 watt compact fluorescent, it gives plenty of light (I first had a 26 W in it, which actually was too bright).

Very good quality. I ordered one too many but my friend talked me out of the 2nd one before I could return it. It gives just the right amount o light for a bedroom.

The style of these lamps is beautiful, and they seem to be well-made. However, they would have looked so much better with a rice paper shade, as the polyester fabric covering these lamps make them look really cheap. Try Target; they have similar products for a much better price.
