Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Don't listen to all the naysayers who say; "smaller than expected" "too dim - barely a nightlight" "flimsy" "cheap" ...... The product description tells you 100% of what you are getting. 5"x5"x11" in size... I would not "expect" something 24 inches tall, when it told me the dimensions in precise detail. Mine measure EXACTLY 5x5x11. So I got EXACTLY what I was expecting. Regarding "too dim"... again, product DESCRIPTION says it comes with a 5 watt bulb. Just how bright do you think a 5 watt bulb is??? This is NOT a "lamp", it is a decoration. "Flimsy"?? Nothing of the sort. Again, purchased buy those who have no clue what hand made oriental decorations are supposed to be. "Cheap"?? For eighteen bucks, I call it a great bargain!! .... Now, my description of this. It is hand made from wood and "heavy" paper. Hand made mean you assemble with care and patience. Only has four screws so it take all of two minutes. If you assemble it carefully it goes together just fine. No, it is not a perfect fitting CNC machined product... it isn't supposed to be. I was stationed at Okinawa Japan for almost 5 years (20 years ago) and have seen and bought many products like this, and can tell you this nice little lamp is EXACTLY what you see in just about every home in Japan. If you are "afraid" to assemble anything, just go look elsewhere. If you have held a Phillips screwdriver in your hands a number of times, assembly is an extremely trivial task. ... While the bulb it came with is as described, I happened to have a 7 watt CF bulb with the right socket on it to put in it. (See picture for brightness) I LOVE THIS LITTLE GUY, and I'm going to buy more of these. They have a lot of different patterns to chose from. .... If you have one of these and think it is too dim, just plop in a 4-7 watt CF or an 3-4 watt LED bulb and you'll be very pleased. Enjoy!!!
