All Lamps

Wayfair does it again! First let me rave about the company...we have been in the process of decorating of NYC apartment from the floor up. We've purchased a number of items from Wayfair and have had a great experience every time. Great customer service... products deliverd on time. If there is a delivery delay, you get an email that keeps you in the loop. That only happened once b/c it was an Asian item that was stuck at the border, I think. No other company had it in stock either. Floor lamp... if you are having doubts my advice is to BUY THIS LAMP NOW! We looked for months and months and months until my husband found this Utopia. Well made. Packed to be safe upon delivery. On trend but really unique. The metal shade that fits over the cream fabric shade has cutouts of delicate leaves. Very subtle yet it gives the lamp a unique pattern of light. Also, the two bulbs give plenty of light and can be used independently for setting the mood. Has a light diffuser on the top of the fixture so no harsh light. IMO this is the finest lamp at this (or any) price out there. And I live in NYC and shopped all the lighting stores as well."..."  Read more

This is the eighth Robert Abbey lamp I've bought, counting those R.A. manufactures under the Crate & Barrel brand name. I'm a fan. Here's why. Flexible positioning: I looked a long time for a dark-toned extension-armed pharmacy lamp. This one offers the most features. The height adjusts up and dow; the jointed arm extends a long way; the head can rotate up and down (not true of most other lamps, including the House of Troy one); the shade can be rotated from side to side (though I wouldn't want to change that too often, for fear of loosening the connection of shade to socket). Amount of light: Takes up to a 100 watt bulb (many pharmacy lamps only go to 60w). Sturdy full-range dimmer (most pharmacy lamps have a high-low switch, at best). Inside of shade is shiny silver and reflects light fabulously well, so that I rarely turn the lamp to full brightness even for reading. Quality of construction: Like other Robert Abbey lamps, this is built like a tank. Very heavy -- probably close to 20 pounds. Everything has a well-finished, quality feel. I saw the House of Troy adjustable pharmacy lamp in person, and its switch feels cheap and fragile; this one is solid and beautiful (a pretty ball). I expect this lamp to look good and perform well for decades. Appearance: Very nice; slightly old-fashioned vibe because of the reeding on the bottom part of the vertical column and the molded circle-in-square shape of the base. "Dark natural brass" color is a non-shiny brown -- closer to bronze than to polished brass. I like this lamp so much that I'm probably going to buy another in the "dark antique nickel" finish for a different room."..."  Read more

Fabulous lamp. Heavy, yet well balanced. 3 way bulb so you can choose lighting mood: full power reading small print low light for kissing a sweetie pie. The shade is exquisite and understated. The inside of the shade is lined with satin like fabric so it's gorgeous to look at when you look up from reading. Beautiful combination of textures, metal, wood. We bought a Quoizel floor lamp and are thrilled with it too. Not matching. You know the stuff out there is usually a hit or miss. This lamp is the real deal. Also, Wayfair is the real deal. We've bought a number of items from them and they know how to serve their customers. PS This review is the real deal...we've been shopping for 4 months to decorate our apartment (we have very refined tastes - thank you very much) and Wayfair is such a relief to deal with. Yes... I receive a reward gift for this review and that's my point: Wayfair actually knows how to show appreciation for customers. How many times have you been asked to write a review or take a customer service survey out of the goodness of your heart in the last month? I appreciate being appreciated. Well done, Wayfair and Quoizel!"..."  Read more
