We bought two of these, in bronze, to install as reading lamps over / next to our bed. They were packed well and everything arrived intact. Installation is a bit tricky but not too bad, though I would strongly recommend throwing away the wall anchors that came with the unit and getting some better ones. I used the ones in the box, and with the drill bit they suggested, the anchors almost disappeared completely into the wall, and a result, it's not affixed to the wall securely enough, IMO.. I need to go back and reinstall with better anchors, but thought I would share this suggestion so that maybe someone doesn't make the same mistake. Also, I made the mistake of putting the first one directly in line with the wall outlet, and it ended up being too close to use both the cord covers so I had to shorten it with a chop saw. On the 2nd installation, I put it to the side of the outlet, so if the cord cover was too long, it's not a big deal. Happy to clarify if that's confusing.
Also, I couldn't find this info anywhere in the product description, but it takes a 50/100/150 watt bulb, so it can get as bright as you need to.
In summary, these are good-looking lamps at a nice price, and that don't require the installation of any electrical fixtures. Make sure you pay careful attention to some details when you do the install, and get some better anchors, and it'll save you some grief.

After my twin babies had knocked over and broken the second reading lamp in their room, I decided to get a wall lamp so that they wouldn't be able to reach it. I love this lamp! I installed it on the wall above where the kids can reach from the floor, and while sitting in the rocking chair with one in each arm, I can easily swing it towards us for reading books and then swing it back towards the wall out of reach when we transition to rocking/singing (which was always the part of our bedtime routine when they would reach over and grab the lampshade or knock the lamp to the floor). It has a three way switch and gives great, warm light for reading. It looks nice on the wall, too. I only docked one star because the shade it comes with is a bit flimsy and cracked while I was installing it. You can't really see the crack, though, so it's not that big a deal (and was hardly worth the time/effort to ship back for a replacement). Very easy to install (you do need a drill, though) and it comes with a long, narrow metal cord cover that you can install on the wall to hide the cord on its way to the outlet (another useful feature for deterring two curious kids!).Best Deals for Kenroy Home 30110BS Simplicity Wall-Mounted 150-Watt Swing-Arm
Item just as described. Delivery was prompt. Overall pleased with purchase; however, I e-mailed seller about some damage to the shade due to corner of box being crushed, but I never received any response.Honest reviews on Kenroy Home 30110BS Simplicity Wall-Mounted 150-Watt Swing-Arm
Lamp looks nice, works correctly, and fits what can loosely be called my "decor." Only problem is that the cord should have been at least a foot longer. Manufacturers need to keep in mind that not everyone lives in a house where there are plug-ins every six inches along the wall.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Kenroy Home 30110BS Simplicity Wall-Mounted 150-Watt Swing-Arm
The lamp is clearly advertised as using a 150 W bulb and a 3 way switch...exactly what I was shopping for.It's attractive and will do what I expected it to do EXCEPT: the Harp, which is almost impossible to compress and fit into the lamp stem is so small that a regular GE 150 W 3way bulb will not fit inside the harp. The harp must lean against the bulb which hints at early bulb burnout due to overheating. It could even be a safety issue.
I wonder if the people who design these things ever really put one to use.
