Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The piece looked good on the website, and in the box, but this lamp is a piece of junk.
1. The horizontal bar is not securely fastened to the oval part that attaches to the wall. There is no way to tighten it.
2. Instructions are basically non-existent. All we could read from the instructions is that you connect black wire to black, and white to white. (Um, yeah, thanks.)
3. There is a weird 2-piece mounting bracket that can spin. This bracket is not pictured in the instructions at all. It took us three hours to figure out how to put the bracket on the wall, while fastening the front of the bracket to keep it (and thus the whole lamp) from spinning, while putting the front-facing screws through from the back (which is against the wall) so that they don't stick too far out through the front. Because on the front there is a shallow bronze knob to cover the end of the screw, and this is only way the lamp is really attached to the bracket and thus the wall.
4. When the lamp was finally on the wall, leaning out because the screws still stuck out a bit too far, I tried to put the glass cups on. One of the rings holding the cups on does not screw down, so the lamp can only be mounted with cups facing up (not like the picture on website). Otherwise the middle glass cup would be hanging down, loose and lower than the other cups.
To sum up: there are no instructions, but installation is not intuitive, and glass cups are not secure.
At least the bulbs lit up, so no internal wires are broken, and the glass cups arrived unbroken in the box.
But I'm afraid changing a light bulb the first time is going to bring the whole thing down off the wall!
