My daughter is about to turn 14 and her wonderful cowboy-themed room is no longer what she wants. In fact, she has decided that fairies are the best thing ever. We purchased this lamp to place on her bedside table.
This lamp does not come fully-assembled. First, let me tell you I am completely incompetent at putting things together. My husband excells at it. I am awful. When we opened this lamp for my daughter, my husband had already retired to bed. And there was NO WAY IN HELL that my daughter was going to be patient and allow this lamp to be put together the next day. So I tried it. And in fact, I did it. It was a little bit of effort. I was pretty sure I was going to break the glass panels. But I did not.
When the lamp was fully-assembled we plugged in it and SHE WAS IN LOVE. The fact that it is a touch lamp is super fun and she thinks it is AWESOME. I am thankful this kid has never seen an ad for The Clapper or we would have lights turning on and off with clapping all day every day.
This is beautiful, and delicate. The top finial (is that even a word) of the lamp is also really pretty.
This lamp is loved so much we actually ordered another one in a larger size with a different fairy.
I am a little concerned about its staying power, as it just seems a little cheaply made. But I will come back and update if it fails on us.
So, one star marked off for the kind of cheap look to the lamp (looking at it with adult eyes) and the fact that I had to put the darn thing together. But we still like it very much.
