KOUBOO 1050029 Wicker Pear Pendant Lamp, 18" x 18" x 15", Natural

First off, I adore the design of this fixture. We've had it up several weeks now and I love seeing it. But...1. it was an absolute beast to install.2. there is no ground wire included (a safety feature). I asked a question about this and the seller replied that a ground wire is not needed because there is no metal chain down which an electrical current could travel. Everything we read online indicates there should a ground wire if the box is metal; I didn't see anything about electricity traveling down a metal chain. We're complete amateurs though, so I could be wrong. I still think, for a price like $200, a ground wire should be included.3. the fixture does not hang straight. I fiddled with it quite a bit until I realized it was hanging off center because that is how it is (poorly) designed. The white cord does not enter the fixture in its center. The only reason it looks centered in my pictures is because I placed a small weight inside the wicker dome to balance it.I am keeping the light because again, I love how it looks. The wicker part of the fixture seems to be good quality. But I think they cheaped out everywhere else they could. Not worth $200 in my opinion, but we have it now.

Really lovely wicker pendant lamp. I have posted a photograph which includes both colors of the pendant available for comparison. The ceilings are eight feet tall. The included ceiling fixture easily unscrews off of the pendant and a swag pendant kit can be used. The kit I am using in this photo was bought on Amazon for about $10-$15. As you can see, the darker pendant lamp is slightly more rust/orange than in the photo online. I have purchased three of these pendant lights. All were in excellent shape, were shipped quickly, and were consistent in color. The lighter color lamp is the same size as the darker shade. It's just elevated. Both are excellent. The wall paint is Restoration Hardware's color Latte for those of you who need to compare their paint with my photo in order to determine if there is a color discrepancy. The pendant color looks accurate to me. Very happy with this purchase.

Another reviewer stated that this lamp hangs straight, but that was not our experience. The cord attaches to the center of a non-symmetrical socket, so there is no way it can hang straight. Otherwise, this lamp would have been perfect, but not hanging straight was a deal breaker. Wish I had taken a better photo, but the one I've attached shows the tilt.

We bought this thinking it was going to be perfect over our new dining table. The hardware bolts dropping down from the cross brace were too short and the wire tightening nut would allow the whole light to drop/slide down. Dangerous. Wasted so much time on this poorly designed light!

This light was perfect for my cozy little kitchen nook area. Highly recommend it for a boho modern feel.

Cord is not white, more like light beige. Removed the cover on the cord to find a bright white cord which worked better for me. This is diffused light, not very bright. But again, it worked for me.

Love this, a little tricky mounting, but had more to do with some wiring In our house than pendant. Looks great in our kitchen, best with warm bulb.

This pendant lamp is beautiful woven wicker, and was easy to assemble and connect via the current outlet thingy from the ceiling (we replaced the standard ceiling light fixture that came with our house with this). Delivered in perfect condition. Adds a lot of dimension to our dining room. Would definitely purchase a KOUBOO again.

Love this pendant! Easy to install, and shorten the cord if needed, it looks exactly as in the picture. Great quality. Love the way it looks in my kitchen

Absolutely love it :)

Très belle lampe! Bonne qualité!
