For the price, you get so much. We bought these for matching bedside lamps. We love that there are outlets and USB ports on the lamp for easy charging and to free up wall outlets. Also, the touch to turn on and to increase brightness is so convenient. The lamps themselves are a nice size and shape - modern and neutral. Highly recommend!These lamps are great. They're heavier than I expected and feel sturdy. Assembly was very easy once I found the harps (they were on the very bottom of the styrofoam with how I opened the box). Other reviewers were right about the inconsistent light levels. Like, the first tap is dim, second tap is much brighter, third tap is barely any difference from the second. But the (essentially) two light levels work just fine for me.I was unable to plug these lamps into living room outlets controlled by a switch. When I turned on the switch I still had to touch the lamp bases to turn each lamp on. The lamps are more suited to bedroom table lamps.These lamps are beautiful and perfect for bedside table lamps. The touch function works well and is on the entire base including the stem. The shades are big enough to hide the bulb, which I'm picky about, and I was able to change it out for an led bulb.UPDATE:The company actually sent me a replacement pair of lamps and the new ones work properly. Good to know the first pair I got were just duds. Full marks for customer service!ORIGINAL REVIEW:The touch feature on this pair of lamps just doesn't work. It's as simple as that. Touch the first time the light usually comes on. Touch again, it may or may not get brighter. Or you might have to keep touching it over and over for it to do anything. Once it's at its brightest level and you want to turn it off, you'll keep touching till you're blue in the face and nothing will happen. Then you'll give up and simply unplug the lamp. Of course, if you were charging your phone on the lamp, that's not going to work once you unplug it. All in all, extremely disappointing. Don't bother wasting your money on these.Love how you can plug any cable into the base to charge and love how you can make the like dim or bright with a simple tap.Perfect! Touch, 3 way lighting, love the plug and USB ports. So beautiful and elevates our bedroom! Worth every penny!like the outlets in the base. arrived in great shape, easy to assemble.I am very impressed with these modern table lamps. The base houses 2 USB ports and one AC 120V outlet that is such a convenience when charging headphones/i phone, doing away with long charging cords from an AC wall outlet. As well, I can plug in my table radio into my lamp, which sits next to it. The 3 level brightness with a touch is terrific. The lamp shade provides the bedroom with a warm ambience. It is well with the money, which would cost 3X as much from a lighting store.
