Ikea Orgel Table Lamp

Ikea Orgel Table Lamp
  • Picked up a pair of these for the bed stand table. Typical IKEA "form follows function.". This was about the least expensive lamp on Amazon, and I'm pretty happy even though they are cheap.I expected them to be a little taller than they are. The specs are a little vague. The height is from the base to the top of the shade, as installed. I had assumed the height was 'base to bulb' so they are maybe three inches shorter than I thought. But they're fine; they serve the purpose.With the paper shades I'd be cautious about using a high wattage incandescent bulb, but with a 15W compact fluorescent they give off plenty of light.
  • This lamp is very simple but modern, and that is why I bought it. It puts off a very nice, warm glow and is perfect for my desk. I use a standard CFL bulb in there and it works perfectly. My only complaint is that I thought it was a little difficult to assemble since I'm more of a "written instruction" type of person and since it's from Ikea, they only use pictures in their instruction guides. I also didn't like having to pay more than double the price on Amazon versus an Ikea store but I didn't have a choice since I don't live near an Ikea.
