Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a nice stylish lamp. In appearance it is very much like the Holtkoetter lamps, but there are quality differences. I have a Holtkoetter lamp that can readily be adjusted to any position with a single hand....no fuss, no parts to tighten, absolutely no slippage from position. The Kendal lamp, however, takes a minimum of two hands to adjust and honestly, it's better if you have help. I'm using this lamp in a location where I could adjust it to a permanent position. That's definitely my recommendation.
I have the oiled bronze finish in both lamps. The finish on the Kendal lamp is attractive, but definitely doesn't have the depth and color range of the Holtkoetter finish. That's to be expected since the Kendal lamp is steel and the Holtkoetter is solid brass. However, across the room, it's hard to tell the difference. So....if you don't mind some frustration in originally getting the lamp adjusted....and then you can leave it in that position...this is an attractive lamp that may suit your purpose. If you plan on changing the lamp's position frequently, I would NOT recommend this lamp. Spend the money and get a Holtkoetter.
UPDATE: I've found the slightest bump can cause this lamp to slip from position. I found the light bulb shade resting ON a chair due to the lamp slipping from position. The fabric was VERY warm and it could have caused a fire if left long enough. I've now used an extra wire from the balance bar to the cross piece from the dimmer/on/off control to hold it in position. That works for me since it's hard to see the wire where this lamp sets in the room.
