Mission Bronze 18" High Mica Shade Swing Arm Table Lamp

Despite what appeared to be good packaging, the lamp arrived damaged: the Mica shade was cracked. At first, I was annoyed. Afterall, who enjoys the process of obtaining a return authorization; re-packing the item (they never seem to fit back in the original packaging); taking it to a shipping service; and waiting 2-3 weeks for the damaged item to reach the seller and a replacement arriving back on their doorstep? I was pleasantly surprised, however, when I contacted Customer Service and the representative asked if I would like them to simply send me a new shade without actually returning the entire lamp. She didn't even want me to return the damage shade. The best part is, I had a new replacement shade within 3-4 days. What great service!

Pros: Artistic Design, Good Size, Easy to Clean, Well Built

Best Uses: Reading, Decoration

I was pleased that the ordering of the lamp was easy. It arrived exactly when it was promised. The price was fine. I was not pleased with the packaging due to the use of the flimsy styrofoam material that fell apart and ended up everywhere. The lamp itself is not quite as nice as the photo. It appears to have some defects. The cord has some white sticky material on it in 2 places that is not easy to remove. The on/off switch is lose and flimsy. The lamp arm does not swing both ways. Due to the side of my desk the plug is on, and it's where I want it, I'm not able to swing the arm toward me as I would like. It's not worth my time to return it and find another. All in all, the lamp is just okay.

Cons: Flimsy Construction

just a nice looking lamp

Pros: Artistic Design, Easy to Clean, Well Built, Good Size, Area of Illumination

I really don't have any coplaints about this lamp. It was what I was expecting. The mica shade coupled with the 40 watt bulb that I installed provides a warm, subdued glow that is relaxing. I would recommended this product.

great product and great people when contacted by phone , questions solved. thanks

I have 2 mica shaded lamps that were antiques, looking for a 3rd to complement the pair this is an exact match! Larger and perfect! High Quality and Well made. Great Value - ak Rockel

Solid construction and heavy materials. No plastic frames or bases!

Simple to assemble, and works like a charm. Beauty and function all rolled up into one.

I looked a long time for a lamp for my office desk at work! The swing arm on this one me makes it perfect! Very satisfied with the product and the service!

Works on table next to love seat and ties in with our other mission lamps.

Although I really liked almost everything about this lamp--the size, shape and overall mission-style 'look;--I found the mica shade to be just too thin. Instead of nicely diffusing the light, I could just see the light bulb and harp very clearly through the shade. So, I'm returning the lamp--although reluctantly. :(

Lamp looks great, even using a standard 30 watt bulb instead of the smaller specialized bulb from the photos. There is one big glaring (potential) flaw, however. The arm swings outwards in the direction of the power cord, i.e. the wall, making the whole contraption utterly pointless. If you actually intend to make regular use of the hinged arm, then do NOT buy this lamp. Otherwise if you're like me and you just wanted a handsome lamp to soften a dark corner, then 5 stars great buy.

The lamp looks great when viewed from a distance. If one looks at it more closely from slightly above or below the shade, the inside mica retainers are pinkish and not dark in color and ruin the effects of the lamp. I guess you get what you paid for. Still, I was very disappointed in the quality of the shade construction.

Everything is great but arm that holds shade makes the shade crooked. Would be nice if the shade was level. Besides that it beautiful.
