About this product
Interesting name, isn't it? But honestly, this is a twin lamp that offers something for the whole family. A contemporary alternative to more standard floor lamp designs. With an uplighter that reflects a soft glow to illuminate a wide area. While the lower adjustable task light is for reading, writing or even completing a puzzle. Individually dimmable, the floor lamp comes with a rotary dimmer switch.
With a modern brushed chrome finish, this is one good-looking luminaire.
Part of the Father and Child collection.

Waste of time
Bought it to replace a similar one that was old. What a pile of poo. Cheap and nasty, main bulb keeps blowing so after four bulbs and a lot of patience I returned it.

Like the look of the lamp and uplighting is great as is flexi lamp , but get an annoying flicker when using dimmible LED G9 and R7 Bulbs on certain mid-range settings - you have to tweak the dimmer now an again to stop it . ps Got a touch lamp with 2 distinct settings and bulbs are ok.

Complicated and fiddly to put together and comes b
It was really difficult to put together, very fiddly. Had to buy bulbs as extra, which weren't easy to find and wait ages for them to arrive. Certainly wouldn't buy one of these lamps again !!!!!

Says it’s a lamp but in fact is only the structure
I bought this to replace an existing lamp.Most disappointing, it is advertised as a lamp but it’s not until you put it together that you find out it doesn’t come with light fittings. Took it back for refund.

If the bulbs were included it would have been wort
Very disappointed as it didn't say I had to buy bulbs separately and they are really expensive, I wouldn't have purchased it.

Super looking up lighter and the little lamp is great for reading by. Easy to collect. However I would suggest having someone to help building it or plenty of room!

Waste of time finding our product is flawed.
This [product lives up to the customer reviews I read before buying. They warned of flickering lights and true to form I experienced the same thing. So much for hoping I'd be luckier than others.
