Mother and Child Uplighter Floor Lamp with Reading Light - Satin Chrome Finish Floor Lamps for Living Room R7s/G9 Bulbs (Not Included)

This is a superb example of a Mother & child lamp, great polished Antique brass metal, modern and stylish. It has both a Halogen top light which can fill the room when necessary with a soft brightness and a LED lamp for reading or crafting which I find very useful.

I was tad worried about how cheap this lamp was but was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Illumination is excellent and dimmer feature perfect for my needs. It is ornamental and looks as good as the more expensive examples found in the shops. Instructions are poor for assembly but it still went together quite quickly (inserting bulbs is a little fiddly but easy enough). I bought the 1800mm R7 bulb and it fitted fine. Just a shame it is Halogen and not LED. Had it been more environmentally friendly it would have got 5 stars.

Delighted with the look, build weight and quality of this lamp (black chrome), which I got for £43 on Black Friday prices, absolute bargain. Any other standard lamp I have bought over the years has been £100+. I like this one the best. The instructions were the only fall down, so in end, mostly ignored them and 'common sense-ed' my way through the build. This bit must go here...that bit HAS to be removed or it's never going to fit together... didnt take too long to assemble, maybe 30 mins including the bulbs. The independent operation of mother and baby, with dimmer controls, is brilliant and if you turn them full up, they're extremely bright. Love the unusual, black chrome colour, it looks classy. Tempted to buy another for another room...

replaces our older lamp. looks good great quality. assembly can be a bit fiddly but ok. Tools included except a screwdriver

Great light from lamp, delivered quickly. Note: no bulbs are included in package.

Please proceed with caution if you decide to purchase this lamp! It arrived in good time but the assembly instructions are incredibly fiddly and complex. You need to be up for a challenge. If you decide that this is not a job you want to do, beware.. the supplier will not reimburse postage and it costs a lot to send it back to them up in Leeds. I know as I have just had to do this. They also require the packaging to be in the same condition as when it arrived....challenging. I took one look at the instructions and decided not to bother. It is going straight back for a refund. Please also be aware to supply the tracking number for the return to the supplier or they will make you wait for over 30 days prior to any refund.

Firstly, the description does say that the lamp does not come with any bulbs, this is ostensibly so that you can choose whether to have LED or halogen, it also means that you have to struggle to get the bulbs fitted. The main light uses a standard R7 floodlight-type bulb, but the terminals were too far apart for the bulb to fit (see picture). I ended up dismantling the flimsy reflector system and bending the mounts in, not a great start. The smaller, G9 bulb is replaced by supposedly removing 3 small screws holding the tabs (see second picture) however these are captive screws so they do not remove completely and you have to physically bend one of them out to be able to slide the glass out, again pure bad design. Definitely a case of you pay for what you get and the build quality matches the price so if you’re expecting to just plug it in then pay a bit more for something better.

I've had one of these lamps for over 40 years, it finally gave up the ghost so had to have another one. Very easy to assemble. Only thing with this one it doesn't come with Bulbs so you have to buy them seperate. You need a decent bulb shop not your usual bulbs.
