5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Lamp, June 11, 2004

I love this lamp! I looked at all of them, and this is the only one I liked. I registered for it, not thinking anyone would buy it for that price, but they did. I like it because it has a nightlight in the bottom, which incidentally makes the moon and stars light up on the walls and ceiling. I turn it on at night when I put my daughter to bed. It is not bright at all, but just enough light for me to see her when I check on her. The only bad thing is that to turn the nightlight off you have to turn the whole lamp on (twist past that setting). Since I leave it on all night, its not a problem though. It really is worth the money. It is very well made, not cheap looking at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars **FIRE HAZARD** Do not buy!, April 16, 2005

We've had this nice, adorable lamp for eight months. Over the last two days, the main light bulb part would flicker when turning on or off the lamp (like the bulb would burn out). However, this morning the part that the bulb screws into was smoking and flickering orange and we quickly unpluged it. The baby's room was filled with electrical smoke and my husband and I were sick to our stomachs thinking what might have happened if we had walked in fifteen minutes later while our baby was still asleep in there! Do yourself a favor and don't buy this lamp. Why would you ever put your child in a dangerous situation.

Today I'll be going to Babies'R'Us to report this lamp, and also to Consumer Reports. Last night, I was feeding our baby in her nursery with the overhead light on, and the nightlight portion of this lamp on, like it always is. I noticed some flickering from the area of the main bulb. I thought the bulb was going to pop until I realized only the nightlight was on. That's when I noticed the awful smell and realized that the flickering was sparks of flame coming from inside the lamp!

Can you imagine what might have happened if I'd already put the baby to bed and gone upstairs? Or if this had happened while we were out of town for the weekend? My poor wife could hardly sleep last night and we brought the baby upstairs to sleep with us because her room smelled like an electrical fire.

This lamp can be as cute as it likes, and it is nice to look at, but it needs to be taken off the market right now. I'm not the only person who's had this experience, I see. If you must have this lamp because it sooooo cuuuute, then do yourself a favor and don't plug it in.
