Alans Single Light Glass Dimmable Plug-in Swing Arm Sconce

Great for our above our side tables

I got these open box, so I’m always expecting something to be “off”… 1. “seed texture” of the glass varied greatly from the two purchased. I’ll have to order a 3rd and return one that doesn’t match. 2. These ARE plugcord but with the option to hardwire. The cord is almost orange, ick. Good thing we are hardwiring so no biggie. 3. Both boxes did not include the long metal wire-hider piece. Again, we are hard wiring so no biggie. I also included a close up photo of the color. In my opinion, its little orange-y but it will be up high on our walls so I’ll let it slide.

Love the look and idea of these lights. It doesn’t swing left to right at base on wall so I was a little disappointed. It only goes straight out and rotates at arm joint and light joint for up or down angles only. Also one light came without a screw that holds glass in place. Requested parts and when package arrived it was only the wall mount screws so I’m left with one gold peg missing. So I’m left putting it on the least conspicuous side.

The lamps look nice although, not exactly as I expected. The instructions for installation are not helpful and the lamps dont seem very secured to the wall. They dont move up and down from the base, only side to side. Overall, they look good, but not the greatest quality or easiest installation.

These lamps are lovely and work well next to my bed. Moving my table lamp to the dresser freed up more space on the nightstand. I only gave 4 stars is because, as Cathy from Kitchener, ON reviewed, they could use at least one more set screw on the base because the weight of the lamp tilts the base away from the wall at the top, but aside from that, I’m very happy with my new lamps.
