GLOBEElectric 56963 31.5" Multi-Joint Desk Lamp with Metal Clamp, Black, On/Off Rotary Switch on Shade, Partially Adjustable Swing Arm, Home Essentials, Reading Light, Office Décor

This is an old-fashioned multiarm desk lamp that will screw into a horizontal table edge quite nicely. I have a 100 watt bulb installed and love it for drawing and reading. It reaches across my table without collapsing, as some other such lamps will do. Happy I bought it! Nice black color and well built.

This is a wonderful lamp and it has provided me with a great deal of excitement for which I am very grateful. When I first took it out of the box, I thought surely this cannot work. The parts fitted loosely and threatened to disassemble in my hands. But I had little choice, this being the only desk lamp I owned at the time and decided to fit it to my desk regardless. That leap of trust was infinitely rewarding. Not only did the clamp fit perfectly, but having a fixed point of gravity imbued this lamp with stability I had not previously thought possible. When I turn it or adjust the height it offers just the right amount amount of resistance. It illuminates my desk at this very moment and I highly recommend it.

I plan to but more of these lights, they are great. Well built. Not plastic, All metal, and durable, will last a long time, and I figure out how to get it somewhat cheaper, cost half what other places were chargeing for them. Paid only $19.00 for it Great price.

the base does not hold together if you want to move it you can't lift or it will come off. I solved the problem with a zip tie. Also the lamp head has spaces (probably to reduse heat) and I don't like the way that looks. The lamp socket shroud/shade doesn't attach completely or snap into place, and if you try to move the lamp putting force on it, It could come off and need to reattach. more of an old school lamp to me I bet it will last a long time.

SYNOPSISThis lamp should be evaluated based on the two distinct functions it needs to serve: (a) provide a secure clamp onto a surface; and (b) provide stable adjustable lighting angles. This garbage singularly fails at both of these criteria. AVOID THIS ITEM.DETAILEDDifficulty Level - How Hard Was This To Use?[_] Beginner[_] Novice[_] Competent[_] Advanced[x] ExpertI had to fight with the crappy clamp for over an hour to get it to provide a SEMI-secure hold. The bell cap on the screw-tight portion of the clamp is cheap and thin metal, which is not SECURED to the clamp! It comes off easily, and that means that the part that is supposed to create a secure hold FALLS OFF when you screw.Build Quality[x] This felt very poorly designed, and I recommend against buying it.[_] This felt poorly designed, but "your mileage may vary."[_] This felt like it was adequately designed, with no big pros or cons.[_] This felt like it was well designed, with more pros than alternatives.[_] This felt like it was excellently designed, and I recommend buying it.Build Materials[x] This felt like it was made of different materials than promised, and I warn against it.[_] This felt like it was made of very cheap materials, and I would not recommend it.[_] This felt like it was made of the promised materials, with no big pros or cons.[_] This felt like it was made of higher quality materials, with more pros than alternatives.[_] This felt like it was made of premium materials, and I recommend buying it.Build Safety[_] This felt very unsafe to use, and I recommend against buying it.[x] This felt a little unsafe to use, but "your mileage may vary."[_] This felt safe enough to use, but nothing to write home about.[_] This felt safe to use, with better performance than alternatives.[_] This felt very safe to use, and I recommend buying itFunctionality[x] This did not do what it promised, and I recommend against buying it.[_] This did what it promised, but very badly.[_] This did what it promised, but it was "just fine."[_] This did what it promised, and did it better than alternatives.[_] This did what it promised, with distinction, and I recommend buying it.This was one of the worst purchases I have ever made.

Nice modern look and good design, except for the slightly loose fitment where the arm attaches to the mount. Not a big issue, that a small shim like a toothpick can easily correct. Glad I chose this. Easily moved to another location with the vice mount. Not at all tacky. I got black.

Works as described. I do not have any stability issues with the clamp and move it around quite often. Works real nice with a huge WiFi lightbulb in it.

Came mostly assembled and is very nice looking but base of lamp is not secure to clamp. When assembling the base of the lamp sits in a hole at the top of the clamp, nothing locks it in place or keeps it attached to the clamp and the fit when it sits in the clamp is loose and wobbly. The lamp works great, I set it up with a smart bulb so I can adjust brightness and warmth, the clamp itself is solid and the knobs to adjust angle and height work great. I wish it was more secure to the clamp.
