Simple Designs LD1003-BLK Basic Metal Desk Lamp with Flexible Hose Neck for Office, Living Room, Bedroom, College Dorm, Bookshelf, Black

I have used this lamp for a while now and I am very happy with it. It is easy to use and very flexible for adjusting the area of illumination wanted. Also important in my consideration for buying this lamp is that it was not expensive. At about half the cost of similar lamps, it is a very good deal for the cost.

excellent. all metal construction. well built. even has a ceramic bulb socket. haven't seen one of those in a lamp for years. has a rocker switch, which tends to be more reliable than a push button switchAND the push button failed on another desk lamp on May 31 !

I like this little lamp. But I liked my old one better, I am looking for a lamp kit to repair the old one. This little lamp bends only in the top half of the stem. My old one would bend anywhere from the base to the top and any which way, I think the socket in my old one finally gave up the ghost, It was 10 years old or so, but I'm going to see if I can get a lamp kit for it, until then this one is a good stand in. It was priced decently. It's a decent lamp for a decent price, however I believe it was on sale when I bought it. I like the on/off switch where it is on the top of the lamp base. It is easy to turn on and off.The light bulb doesn't flicker at all when it's on, that I can see. The materials seem to be of good quality even at half the size of my old one. I'm not impressed with the way the goose neck is designed, like I said it only bends at the top not the whole length of the goose neck. The utility of this lamp is restricted because of that. The ones closer to what I had are priced at 39.00 to 150.00 and I refuse to pay it.

Overall, this lamp is a good value - the price is right, it works, is easy to use and the size makes it easy to fit just about anywhere. However, I learned the hard way that the lamp has exposed screw heads under the base that will scratch wood furniture. That is a huge design flaw in my view. Would it have really cost more to have recessed screws to avoid damaging the surface the lamp sits on?

Great price, worked for my needs

Look, something this simple and rustic was hard to find. It was exactly what I was looking for without the extra modern style choices on it. I am giving it 5 stars because it's average is underrated.However, personally, this was worth 4 stars. Why? Because there is an unprotected screwhead on some of these (I have 3) that isn't adequately protected and can stratch cheap furniture (real wood should be fine.. it just ripped the decorative covering of my cheap engineered plywood furniture)
