The lamps are gorgeous,  esthetically pleasing and exactly what I was looking for in order to save nightstand table space and use as a reading lamp.  However,  the two major downsides are the following
1. Because the glass is transparent an Edison bulb shows off  reallly well. However, it produces too much heat, especially at close proximity. I switched over to an LED Edison bulb which reduced the heat however it was too brightharsh. Not quite what I want when doing nighttime reading.
Not much I can do since its transparent glass.
2. Most important feature to me is the ability to adjust and maneuver the lamp for reading, head space,  moving it away me,towards my nightstand. Well after a few months, the  adjustable gear must have stripped because now it just goes limp. It will not stay up. Defeats the whole purpose of this beautiful lamp.


It would be great if the company would ship me a new one.
