Great idea but mediocre construction
The friendship lamp is a great gift...when it actually works.<br />I purchased 2 lamps, one for my mom and one for myself, but couldn’t purchase as a prelinked set because the lamps were being sent to two separate states. So trying to walk my mom through the setup instructions over the phone took well over an hour. She loves her lamp and tells all of her old lady friends about it. My dad sometimes even touches the lamp and then my mom will text me that “dad says hi.”<br />The lamp on my end spends more time unplugged than plugged in because the WiFi signal drops frequently and then the light just flashes. This happens constantly until I finally just unplug it. Then my mom will call and ask if I see the lamp glowing so I have to plug it back in and wait for it to reconnect.<br />I probably would have never spent $80 on a single plastic lamp for myself had it not been part of a sales gimmick.<br />The idea of friendship lamps is pretty cool but the construction is cheap.
