Endon Rome 230W & 33W Satin Chrome & Opal Glass Mother & Child Task Floor Light & Uplighter [Energy Class C]

I had a similar lamp for about 5 years or more and used it in my office. When it broke I needed a replacement. I looked on Amazon and found this one. The reviews seemed mostly positive and the price was good. When I went to checkout I also bought bulbs for the lamp. When the lamp arrived, it looked fantastic, even before assembly. The instructions for assembly were useless so I just used common sense and was able to assemble in about 15-20 minutes. After reading, some reviews say that the lamp came with bulbs , others say it did not. Mine did not come with bulbs but I bought them anyway so it did not bother me. With bulbs easily fitted the lamp completely illuminates the room , far brighter than any ceiling light. Great for offices or near a desk. The 'child' light is not as effective but adds additional light and both lights can be used separately or together. For quality of materials, cost, effectiveness and appearance , I would highly recommend this product.

Product was well packaged with all parts and tools included (including two spare allen grub screws for uplighter bracket in case originals got lost). Took me about 20 minutes to assemble. Bulbs were pre-installed. Instructions not great, so mostly assembled by intuition. Could have done with three hands at several points during the assembly.As another reviewer has said, the grub screws in the main uplighter supports need care. Ensure the upright rods are fully inserted before tightening or the screws will disappear. The only real worry I had with assembly was that the main uprights were twisted after loose assembly. Easily fixed by gently twisting both uprights together to straighten and then fully tighten unit.Satin chrome finish slightly prone to scratching around the base during assembly so take care when inserting uprights into the satin chrome base cover.On my unit both lamps are dimmable. Main (300W bulb) dimmer buzzes very very slightly (normal for a lot of dimmers in my experience and less noticeable than some other dimmers that I have on main lights in the house). Reading lamp dimmer (40W bulb) does not buzz at all.Both lights seem to work well and, so far, this unit is a really good addition to my home office/study.My only tiny negative observation is that the reading lamp glass is a bit loose and rattles when the lamp is moved (but it does not rattle once positioned and the light is on). I can probably fix that with a screwdriver but have not had time to do so yet.Overall really good value and better than I expected for the money.

I ordered this just after Christmas and it arrived within a couple of days.Like some other reviewers I struggled with the assembly.I found it easiest in the end to get the grubber screws firmly into the top lamp by kneeling on the floor with the dimmer switch box held between my knees and the curved arms upright so the large lamp bowl was in the position it would be in when assembled.When doing the base, with the whole lamp stretched out on the floor, I rested the other end across the polystyrene packing box to prevent accidentally banging the light bowls on the floor.I wasn't able to insert the grubber screw to hold the cable in place as the plastic bit it needed to go through was jammed inside the base and I didn't want to disassemble the base again (had already done so once as did stage 4 before stage 3 by mistake!) to release it. Tried using a spanner and a pair of pliers but only suceeded in scratching the metal. I don't think it matters if the flex is not secured as the lamp is just staying put behind the sofa.It took me all afternoon but it does look very good in the corner of my living room. I have very low ceilings with beams and the uplighter is quite close to the ceining but casts a nice-looking light, and the other light is very good to read by and easy to move to different angles.Altogether I am very pleased with it but am sure many of us would happily pay extra to have it come ready assembled!

A really great product. Well made and nice to look at too. From the dimensions given I thought it would be smaller but thankfully it was just the size I wanted. From floor to edge of metal rim at the top it is approx 6' tall. The metal shade is 11" across and the arm with the other light on starts 44" up from the floor, just above the dimmer switches. The light of the arm is around 4" across and is flexible not just from the stem of the lamp but right where the actual arm lamp itself is. It was easy to assemble (and I am rubbish at things like that so that's saying something.) The light can be very bright if you want it, well enough to light a 14' room, but there are two independent dimmer switches on it so you can dim either the large light at the top or the one on the arm, or both to the desired level. I was a bit nervous about buying a light without seeing it on first, but I needn't have worried. I've looked everywhere for something like this and couldn't find it so took the plunge and bought it online and I'm glad I did. If I needed another lamp I would have no hesitation in buying another of these. Hope this helps!

The lamp itself is very smart but the lamp head design need addressing.This item arrived and was put together without issue. I turned it on and the bottom spot worked fine; the top lamp came on then fizzed out. I assumed the bulb had gone so I went out and purchased a new one. When I fitted that, the light still didn't work. I examined the lamp head and could see that the two contacts weren't holding the bulb in properly. I took the cowl off the top, pressed the contacts in, screwed it all back together and hey presto, the lamp worked just fine.All in all, its not bad for £45, but if I had paid £100+ (the stated RRP) for it I would have sent it back and been very disappointed with the quality.
