" ... The glass that covers the bulb is so heavy that it causes the arm to bow downwards meaning that it DoESNT HANG STRAIGHT. ... "
" ... Base is such thin metal that it would not support the weight of the glass globe without distorting the base. ... "
" ... First thing to note is that you can remove the plug in case you want to hard wire install it. ... Secondly, we had been using it for a week or two when the on/off switch broke. ... "
" ... The arms are flimsy but we rarely pull them out straight. ... "
" ... I painted it copper so I could mount it ASAP! ... after doing that, the lamp was not flushed to the wall BECAUSE the glass is HEAVIER than what the little chicken arms can hold! ... So the screws to the chicken arms get loose immediately! ... "
" ... After a couple of uses, the switch completely broke. ... "
" ... Kinda cheap, the arm couldn't support the lamp part so it just kinda slumped in one position ... "
" ... Cheap cheap cheap. ... Very poor quality construction, mostly plastic ... "

" ... Nice light, just as expected. ... "
" ... Overall great simple light. ... "
" ... Looks great with clear light bulb. ... "
" ... Paired it with a nice Edison bulb and made sure the bulb was dimmable so that I could take advantage of the dimming feature on this Globe Electric item, the page reads "FULLY DIMMABLE" in all caps as one of the main bullet points. ... Apparently, you need to purchased a compatible dimmer switch and hard wire the light in order to take advantage of this feature. ... That said, I bought a 40 watt bulb so the light is not overpowering without need for any dimming action whatsoever. ... "
" ... I love the look of the light and it gives off plenty of light. ... "
" ... Using it over kitchen sink, it’s all the light we need. ... "

" ... Then after using my own screws and wall plugs I put it up, only to find that the plate that holds it to the wall is not solid enough to hold the light straight. ... "
" ... My husband began to put these up and had such a hard time dealing with the tiny screws they come with for the base and not only is there hardly enough wire to pull through the base to wire it, but you can barely fit the wire through the hole on the base! ... figured out that because the glass cover is heavy it pulls the arm down a bit. ... "
" ... The holes are not even adjustable bc it’s screwed into the back piece which only has a tiny bit of material where the screw is and cant be adjusted!! ... "
" ... It does not lock into place for a horizontal mount (one side locks because of gravity, the other does not). ... "
" ... The glass that covers the bulb is so heavy that it causes the arm to bow downwards meaning that it DoESNT HANG STRAIGHT. ... "
" ... Very difficult to mount. ... "
" ... The arms swing and feel like they are loose or flimsy. ... "
" ... Gave it a 4 because it didn’t fit the use I imagined it would. ... "

" ... Mounting hardware is for ceilings, not walls. ... "
" ... We shimmed, used a longer screw and screwed into a 2x4 behind the drywall. ... "
" ... According to the instructions, you have to take the back off the canopy to mount it to the wall. ... "
" ... The mounting system does not mount securely to the wall. ... "
" ... Finally they were up on the wall and then they looked uneven . ... "
" ... The screws provided for wall mounting stripped easily, however. ... Also, one of the lamps joints was crooked so I had to compensate by mounting the base off center. ... "
" ... I don't trust it enough to mount on my wall (like I am supposed to). ... "
" ... Very difficult to mount. ... "

" ... I like the style, super easy to install, just need to put on a cord cover still. ... "
" ... It was simple to install and I used a cord cover to conceal the cord and painted it the color of the wall. ... "
" ... I love it and no wiring required! ... "
" ... And I could even install it so I don't have to see the cord but for now it's more than perfect for a rental. ... "
" ... We purchased some cord covers in order to hide the cords/make them more structured and also purchased a smart switch to use to turn the lamp on & off at the top of the stairs. ... "
" ... I also used an adhesive cord hider which gives the lights a built in look. ... "
" ... Very easy to cut cord for hard wired in. ... "
" ... They look great and the cords are hidden!! ... "

" ... As other comments have said, it is flimsy and the arm does not want to hold the weight of the lamp. ... "
" ... The arms swing and feel like they are loose or flimsy. ... "
" ... These things are so poorly made they almost cant hold their own weight up. ... "
" ... I bought three of them for my kids as room and the neck portion doesn't hold the head of the lamp up. ... "
" ... Huge pain, and false advertising, as it can't be hard-wired without rewiring the fixture . ... "

" ... Only issue is that the knob to turn it on and off does not work. ... "
" ... Silver knob came off after about a week, but we could still turn it from the inner one, so we just let that go. ... "
" ... After two weeks, the on/off button stopped working. ... "
" ... The knob is a little funky, and I have to take off the knob cap to turn it off and on. ... "
" ... Have to pull knob off and turn on by twisting innards. ... "
" ... I tested the lamp first but right after turning it on i noticed the switch knob was already strpped and al it only spins. ... The only way to turn it on and off is by removing the knob and turning it with the hard plastic. ... "
" ... The on off knob has a chrome button that that slides over top of the actuall working black plastic knob. ... Well now it toast, glue must of grabbed something else and button will not turn to turn on and off so its now broken. ... "

" ... Came in handy when I needed to put the cord through a small hole to get to outlet. ... I need about 8 foot to have enough to put it where I wanted so got to buy more cord and splice it to the original but very great and pretty light with a great thought out feature. ... "
