Attractive lamp
Date:January 2, 2013
"I bought this lamp for my desk to add a low light option to the room for early mornings and late nights. The lamp is robust and heavy (no tipping) and rotates at 3 pivot points for a customized position. It has 2 light settings and operates by touch on the base or staff (no switch). Very easy operation for coming into a dark room. The lamp is not very bright (would be hard to read without being directly underneath) but it's perfect for a desk. I wanted a little extra light to be easier on the eyes than overhead room light and that's exactly what I got."

Not very adjustable
Date:September 17, 2012
"The only part of this lamp that is adjustable is the lamp shade(you can postion the shade/bulb for more direct light), you can postion the arm some what.
This is a very duable and heavy lamp, it will not tip over.I have it at my bedside, it is attractive and it is perfect to read with.

Nice looking lamp at great price
Date:July 25, 2012
"This lamp has a wonderful pitena and nicely adjustable. I have had two small issues; first the elecrical cord that you have to stuff into the body of the lamp when assembling it is too long and hard to insert, second the touch system is very sensitive. It would turn on by it's self when you walked accross the room. I put pads under the legs of the table and now it turns on only when I want it on. Over all I love the lamp!!"

Junk
Date:June 3, 2012
"Do not buy this lamp. It's simple enough to put together, but the two knobs that are supposed to allow you to adjust the lamp's position fall apart when manipulated and are nearly impossible to screw back on. Because the entire lamp is touch-sensitive, it will turn on and off while you are attempting to adjust it. I'll be returning this."

Put together poorly
Date:March 19, 2012
"The lamp came assembled, however the screws were to short and did not hold the lamp together properly. It kept falling apart. Also, the no turn on switch was weird. Half the time the touch did not turn on the lamp. After numerous attempts to try to make it work properly we gave up and decided to return it. This is the first time we ever returned an item to Home Decorators, so trust me, do not purchase this item!"

no switch needed...
Posted February 6, 2012
You dont really need a switch! Simply touch the shade or the base to change the light levels or to turn it off.

Amherst Desk Lamp
Date:September 13, 2011
"I ordered this lamp for my son's desk. The lamp is beautiful. I didn't realize when I purchased it that it was a touch lamp. When I received the lamp the touch control didn't work consistently. I took it to a local lamp shop and had it checked out. He said that the touch control inside the lamp was very cheap. He rewired it to make it a regular lamp with the on/off control on the cord near the lamp base. This is much better in many ways. It's too bad that I had to take a new lamp to be repaired but I love the lamp and it looks great in my son's room."

Better than even anticipated!
Date:June 1, 2011
"I purchased two of these "desk" lamps for my bedroom night stands. With the multiple ways to adjust them to practically any angle and the three way "touch lighting" (don't even have to use 3-way bulbs) these lamps provide exactly what I need in terms of function and attractiveness. What I was pleasantly surprised to discover was the lamp can be lit by touching absolutely any part of it, from the lamp shade, anywhere on the neck or pole, down to any part of the bass!!"

Poor Quality
Date:May 31, 2011
"Had watched this desk lamp for a long time and finally got the opportunity to apply a coupon to my purchase. The look was going to be perfect for the room. When I got the desk lamp and unpacked it I found it difficult to put together. It's only 3 pieces and yet the parts would not go together nor would the lamp stand upright! Because part of the lamp was assembled and would not come apart, I could not use the box it came in making it necessary to pay extra for packing and returning. Very disappointing."

Decent Lamp
Date:October 8, 2010
"I had to wrap the cord that goes into the body of the lamp in electrical tape as there were spots that you could see the bare wire. Otherwise, it is a very solid table lamp. Received in good condition despite the manufacturer not packing well."
