Why such a big markup, this lamp is $7.00 at Ikea? I understand Ikea shipping is ridiculously high, but this lamp is super cheap.

This product is 7.99 - 9.99 at ikea stores depending on the store and ikea does not offer shipping on this product at all. Also, ikea charges a minimum of 15$ on all orders so the price here on amazon is actually better than any deal than you could get directly from ikea.

The above url gave me a 'Not Found' error. Any ideas?*Edit*: Never mind. Just go to www.jangro.com and find the article. And it's only $145 for the bulb, depending where you buy it.

I did the same thing and ended up buying a new lamp from ebay. This time I bought one with an actual on/off switch only $25, it uses the same bulb so now I have 3 bulbs. I also left a review on amazon about my experience.

Sophio, I'd love to answer your question, but I had the lamp shipped directly to my daughter's house as a Christmas gift. BTW, the lamp is beautiful.

Nope. You're paying for the convinience of shipping. If youre near an IKEA just go and get it there.

I ordered these lamps for that purpose but decided they did not fit into my room decor. I was going to return them but found the return shipping was only a few dollars less than I paid for them. lesson learned. Be sure yoou want them and they match your life style or you will be stuck like me. Return shipping approximately 153.00.

Do not buy this crap!!!! My unit came as a broken. I tried to contact service without any luck. I would suggest to go to IKEA for much less $, you will have better product. But it is your choice...

I'm not in the same place as my lamp right now, but I believe it is adjustable height-wise. It only has an on/off, so you can't have a three level bulb in it, but its actually decently done and a lot less expensive than similar lamps on Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn. I've just had to really tighten the screws and then it looks really great. It's definitely above Ikea and not plastic-y, it is I believe made in China, but actually looks like wood, even if it probably is not. The adjustment is in the middle where the upper and lower legs join.

The lamps are in their own plastic bag over the lamp with an elastic band at the base of the salt and lamp base. Then they are in a cardboard box. This cardboard box is placed in a larger thick cardboard box which has more cardboard packed around it, and bubble wrap. Inside the lamps plastic bag is a silca gel packet to absorb any moisture. When my box arrived, you could tell that the shipping company had hit the outside of the box, as it was bent in on one side slightly. But it didn't even bend the inside of the cardboard shipping box. That is how thick and tough the shipping box is. Very impressed with the shipping of the lamps.

No, materials quality is no worse or better than average at least for the lamp I received. Small misalignments can be easily corrected by slightly bending brackets if needed. Lamp is still a good buy in my opinion unless priced way above $65 I would say.

Mine arrived with a broken bulb as well (boo!). I've been unable to find a bulb locally, and when they had them on amazon.com they cost as much as the lamp. This seems to be a thing with this company.

I am just guessing but if I want to buy this online from IKEA and have it shipped shipping alone would cost me $199.00! I have an IKEA about an hour away so I'm going to go ahead and take a trip but if I didn't the shelving I could buy for sixty dollars in the store would two hundred and sixty to ship so with that factored in Amazon is actually much cheaper.

The lamp is no more than 1.5 pounds. Why the shipping weight is 8 pounds I do not know. This is an Ikea lamp. Maybe you could drive there for it at no shipping cost. I guess if you want it bad enough you would pay the shipping.

Mine Was Round When It Arrived And Still Is. I Had No Problem With It. It Is An inExpensive Lamp; I Didn't Expect It To Look Like A One Hundred Dollar Lamp. For The Price And My Need, The Lamp Is GREAT.

I would try amazon first--then http://www.lightinguniverse.com/lamp-shades_2416.html?linkLoc=newSearchRedirect But after looking at the prices-the whole lamp is less money-strange... You can also try walmart on line..
