The lamp is very nice and well constructed , works fine but the glass was scratched on arrival and the liquid that was supposed to be clear came foggy and milky

A 130 dollar lamp should not be shipped with any defect

This lamp is really cool. It's not huge and not small, really great proportions. I have it on a timer so it goes on at night to light my office. Really fun. I would have given this 5 stars, except the bulb burned out and there aren't factory replacements. Kind of a bummer. I did find something that would fit (a Satco 40-watt/120v Candelabra Base Model #S3847 Satco S3847 120V Candelabra Base 40-Watt G12.5 Light Bulb, Clear). I works the lava correctly, but it's not bright enough to have the wax color come through (looks black). I would wait to buy this until the vendor's site has replacement bulbs available.

My four year old simply loves this lamp, as do we. Build quality is fantastic and looks amazing lit-up. Its aluminium construction and size are what makes this rocket shaped lava-lamp stand out from all the cheaper versions around. I would highly recommend this to anyone. If buy from overseas (as I did) make sure you check the bulb to see that it's installed correctly before turning on. The bulb that came with my unit was 240v compatible but installed slightly off-skew and burnt out within a couple of minutes, easy fix with a replacement bulb. I also removed the lower portion of the power cable (switch to socket) and replaced it with an Australian version for simpler and adapter-free usage.
