Best Desk Lamps With Reviews

Love it as an addition to our industrial and modern farmhouse decor. If you decide to purchase this, please be aware that not only is this lamp tall, but it’s also long in regards to the depth you’d need on your table or nightstand. Measure your space before you purchase so you don’t end up returning. I had to pull my end table away from the rear wall a few inches so that the upper gear part/arm of it would fit on the table without bumping the back wall. Fortunately the table is also black and hidden a bit by our curtains so that it doesn’t look awkward being pulled a bit forward. One last note, item came packaged well without damage, but contents have to be assembled and the components are all in that atrocious foam that leaves hundreds of those staticky tiny foam beads everywhere when you try to take the pieces out to build. It took longer to clean all of those up than it did to assemble. Maybe take it outside or in the garage when opening to prevent a big, staticky mess.

I purchased this lamp on an open box sale. I have never purchased anything from open box before but the price was so good I took a chance. This lamp is beautiful. I have no idea why someone would return it, but I am so happy they did. The lamp is heavy and very well made. I would recommend this lamp even at full price, that is how beautiful it is. I am just overjoyed with my purchase.

Great height and reach. Holds firmly at any angle you set it to. I have had several of these in the shop for many months now and they stay in place. The springs are strong. It's nice that the clamp it comes with to attach to desks etc. are NOT attached to the light itself permanently, which is nice if you just want to drill a hole in a bench or wherever to stick the light into. Good light at a good price (back then anyway).

Well it is a nice lamp but it gets very hot. Box said you could use up to 60 watt but sight says 40 watt. I will look for something smaller in watt because it does get very hot. Especially at the turn on/off switch. I do believe if you held onto the switch very long it would burn you. It really gets hot. The base is extra large for some reason and I know it's a heavy lamp but do believe it could have been smaller. All and all I do like it, very smart looking.

The product was fine, but the base was almost entirely solid and hardly had any of the marbling, which was why I bought it. I wanted the gray marbling color to tie together a room with gray and gold accents, but mine didn't have much gray marbling at all. Maybe I just got unlucky and they are all different. I like the lamp but was disappointed about that.

This is a great little desk lamp. I love the clamp style which gives this a great adjustability to any position on a desk. I also love the different light settings. The only improvement I would make would be to increase the arm length so that it can be positioned higher. The controls are on the cord which some people complain about but I just clip the cord to the clamp itself and it stays in place right next to the clamp itself so you don't have to lean over to turn it on or off. I would highly recommend this light. I bought it in white and it looks great on my marble desk.

nice work area light. the 'appropriate bulbs arrived a day later, and I had put in an LED bulb. The lamp worked, then wouldn't work. I subbed another bulb I had on hand...it got hot. Correct bulbs arrived, and so far it is working fine. Not sure if it was a flaw in the lamp, or the bulbs I had on hand (both LED equivalent with 60wt). Fingers crossed since I think the lamp looks cool and ultimately makes my work area bright and functional!

I ordered two and the packages arrived almost as fast as I hit send for the online order, much much sooner than expected. The lamps were in perfect condition, no sign of damage anywhere. Be warned that the arm is a bit stiff, so it's a good idea to work it a little before putting the harp and shade in place. You may need lock nuts to keep the shade from spinning out of control, as the round finial tends to loosen easily. Make certain to keep the cord straightened as you pull it down into the upright section and base or that will also loosen. The lamps are cute and have a cozy glow, and they give off more than enough bright light for reading.

My love affair with your brand began when I selected Wayfair furnishings for a client's new offices. Soon thereafter, my wife & I chose a Wayfair chair for our living room. Now, my new Orrstown 18.5" Desk Lamp makes yet another perfect complement to our eclectic décor. It's elegantly retro styling bridges our classic and contemporary tastes. I have it on a chest in our bedroom so I can easily aim it in my sock drawer and see which pair I want. Best of all, I found a lamp that I really needed and like aesthetically on sale at Wayfair!

Beautiful design, but poor craftsmanship. We purchased the floor and desk lamps from the same collection and they were all consistently low quality. In comparison, the desk lamps were not as bad, but still they had lots of issues, including loose hardware, surface scratches and scrapes, glue residue all over, detached base cover and different finish colour- very dark brassy in some parts. I wish the switch was integrated with the lamp, but instead its on the cord about 13 inches away from the lamp. Other than that the lamp is sturdy, the arm does raise high up as shown in the product photos, and the assembly is easy. Its very unfortunate because I love the design and I wish the quality would match. The only redeeming factor is that the company promises fair working conditions to its employees, and hopefully, the quality control will improve. Raising to 4 stars only for Wayfair great customer service.

This is a very finished lamp, a bit tech/modern oriented, but certainly suitable for many designing schemes. The height and angle adjustment are intuitive and works well. Bulb power is more than adequate. LED compatibility is yet another plus. The in-line switch may be problematic for some as versus one mounted on the base, but the base here is a tripod which takes up little table/desk room and makes it easy to fit for the clutter. If there is a con to my judgement, it is that a button in-line switch might be easier for those with limited vision, especially at night. Given the lamp setup, the button has to be at least 8" from the lamp to allow for assembly/disassembly. If the button could be held close to the tripod center by some accommodation with the wire looping, this would make operation much easier for those with poor vision or using it in the dark. Fumbling to find the switch to turn the light on is the one con I see here.

The lamp works great and is quite striking. The brushed brass base is lovely. There is a simple rocker switch on top of the base, instead of a spin-switch on the cord, which I absolutely prefer. The only thing I don't love is that the lamp head has limited positioning and wasn't suitable for the purpose in which I purchased it. However, I now have the lamp placed as a decorative auxiliary lamp matched with a small brushed brass flower pot holding a succulent. They make quite a pair, and the lamp adds nice light to my office when the skies are overcast.

This is a nice lamp. Sturdy. Very unique. Lots of compliments. We were able to put it together easily. It is a large item so you need space for it. There are two styles: one that has a wider shade brim and the light bulb shows (table lamp), and then another that has a much narrower shade brim and the bulb does not show (desk lamp). I wish I had chosen the smaller shade style as this is quite a wide piece, a full 31 inches the way I have it set up. It is adjustable but only to a point. It comes with an Edison bulb, but I switched it out for a shorter stained glass bulb that is not as easily seen. Overall, happy with the purchase.

This is the perfect desk lamp. I have had 3 lamps on this desk finally - this is the right one! The lighting is great with my computer- it takes up practically no space the space it does use charges my phone! Not to mention the look of this lamp is rich- like it could have cost 4-5 times what I paid. a true winner!!!

I'm an interior designer so my taste is very high. However, my budget is not as high as my clients. So champagne taste with a beer budget as they say. This lamp was extremely easy to assemble and has simple controls for the amount and color of the light. For an LED, it can adjust to very warm light, almost like a halogen, which I love. I'm an eco-friendly designer who cannot stand fluorescent or LED lights but value the energy efficiency. I'm pleased that I can get efficiency and the natural warm light in the same product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my wife because she likes to read in bed. She doesn’t like keeping the light on because she thinks it bothers me. This light was perfect because she can sim it right where she wants it and it is small enough that she can put in a drawer when she doesn’t need it. I think this would also be amazing to take on trips because I always feel like hotel rooms are too dark.

I'm really happy with the lamps I purchased from Wayfair for my nightstand. I loved them — they're super pretty and stylish, and they provide great lighting. The quality is excellent, and the design fits perfectly with my room's decor. Definitely would recommend these lamps to anyone looking for something both beautiful and functional. Very satisfied with my purchase!
