Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We dont have a ceiling light in our living room and wanted different lighting schemes, so this lamp was the best of both worlds and also affordable. The plastic actually looks like glass, so it doesnt look cheap. We used this light nightly in our living room for almost 3 years. One day, we started smelling an odd smell kind of like chemicals or plastic burning for several weeks and could never figure out what it was. Finally, one day i was cleaning she shades and realized the smaller shade had completely melted on the side facing the wall, and the plastic had burned and completely crumbled into the bulb resulting in a larg burn hole. This is extremely dangerous and really scared us, realizing we could have had a fire. Now i realize why they banned plastic shades in my college dorms in 2007. This is why. This is a good temporary light, but it is dangerous as a daily use light. I see other people having th same problem. Very dangerous.[...]
