UDPATE on January 28th, 2012: Please make sure you get the correct replacement bulbs. I had a scare when it was brought to my attention that the lamp did not take 25watts, but 15. You can use 15 watts, but the lamp does take 25 watt candelabra bulbs, this is according to the manufacturer tag that is on the basket lamp cord. Please see the photo gallery as I took a picture of the tag on the basket lamp. Thank you!

I wanted to give you a video review of this salt rock lamp from when I removed it from the box and opened it. This lamp along with the other salt rock lamps is so beautiful! I hope this video will show setting up the lamp and how salt rock lamps differ due to the cut of the salt rock (s).

This lamp was one of my husband's birthday gifts. I was searching for something, well---way out there. A funky, novelty gift---something he had never seen before.

I wasn't, however, prepared for the high quality of this lamp. It blew us both away! This is NOT a small lamp; it is heavy, well constructed, and it has presence. It would not be missed, in any room. Once we arranged the salt crystals to our liking, and flipped on the switch, we both simultaneously let out a BIG, 'ahhhhhhhh!' We would never have believed that such a small light bulb, would illuminate every crystal, to the point of appearing like a basket of fire. It actually looked inviting, like if we held our hands over it, we could warm them. And, the glow that filled the room was beautiful---not to mention complementary to every complexion. The crystals remained just slightly warm, even when the lamp was on for several hours.

One of the things we immediately noticed, as the lamp warmed, was that we actually could smell the salt and the effects of the negative ions. According to the packaging, "A scientific study has shown that the lighted salt lamp increases the negative ion count up to 600%." I believe it, when it was overtly noticeable.

So, it seems this 'novelty' gift has unexpectedly earned the status of a special treasure, beautifying our living room, and perhaps providing health benefits, as well. My hubby swears that he has already noticed a difference with his allergies, and the general freshness of the room.

The basket is easy to set up, but will shed some salt in the process, so it's a good idea to work on a surface that is easily cleaned. It is recommended to be placed on some type of place-mat. I would also be very careful if you have small children, or pets. They may be attracted to these crystals---they ARE salt, and DO taste like salt, so they may want to put them in their mouth. It is also very heavy; a child could pull it off a table on themselves.

If you're looking for a holiday gift, I couldn't recommend this lamp more highly. The history, alone, will wow most people. We're looking at pink salt crystals that have been harvested, from the Himalayan mountains, from a 250 million year old natural salt deposit. Then the crystals are sent to local artisans to craft the lamps. I find that fascinating!

If you are remotely interested---this is a must have. Treat yourself, a friend, or loved one. I can almost guarantee there will be NO disappointment.

This is amazing. I love it. It looks so pretty at night and is very relaxing.
Makes a great night light and it has helped my allergies. I am usually sick by now at this time of
year with bronchitis or upper respiratory infections, but so far I am healthy. I think it is because
this really does what it says.

I bought this because it looked interesting and I was surprised. It is wonderful, and has helped my allergies. I live in Texas, and mold is everywhere. Somehow this lamp helps control mold. Not sure how from a medical standpoint, but I love it and keep it on all day. As a senior citizen I watch my expenses, but would rather pay for this than a doctors visit or allergy pills. Don't hesitate to try this.

I received two of these - both shipped through Amazon prime. The first one is wonderful and I love it! It is beautiful and I swear by it. It has a dimmer and I love dimming it and keeping it on through the night for my daughter. The second one that arrived just had an on and off switch. The second one came within two days of the first. I considered a third one for my office because I liked the first so much, but the price literally went up $6 in one day.

I just received 2 tall round basket lamps. They are beautiful and I could tell the purifying was working as my room started to smell the same way it did when I used electric purifiers. I have already ordered 4 more as a local retail giant that I wouldn't expect to even sell them has them online for an awesome price. I want one for every room in the house and some for gifts this Christmas. The only negative is that they do package poorly and 1 of the 2 lamps had a bad bulb. I did what another reviewer suggested and bought christmas C7 bulbs, but I found that they are only 5 watt and you need the 15 watt bulbs to heat the salt. I am on my way back to the store for more bulbs, but really, I don't mind the hasstle for such a beautiful, unique and beneficial product.

Great, exactly what I wanted and expected. Extra bonus is that the switch has a dimmer so you can set your level of brightness. I would recommend. [...]

All I can say is wow. The lamp is beautiful and you can really tell the difference in the air when you turn it on- there is a distinct "smell" of negative ions that is refreshing- moreso than the single-piece lamps that I think aren't as effective at producing ions, perhaps because the light is entirely enclosed within the crystal in the single-piece lamps and doesn't allow as many ions to escape (just my theory anyway). However, the single-piece lamps are quite beautiful in their own right. But this badboy basket of crystal chunks that allows maximum ion dispersal is definitely a winner.

This item came packed well. There ws no assembly required. It is like being in a room with a room with a fireplace. Very nie looking. I'm going to get more of these. It ws recommended. For it's healing & air cleaningproperties.

The first one had some corrosion and they exchanged it right away with no problems at all. I love the lamp, it casts a warm glow in the room and is healthy for you at the same time.
