For everyone struggling with the lamp shade (like me), pay VERY special attention to which way the interlocking flaps go in. I have been struggling for DAYS to get the shade to look normal. After reversing the lock flaps to be on the outside (not the inside), it finally looks like a passable lamp shade. Also, if it keeps curling too much, curl it the other way around and just put it back in the box overnight. That also helped a lot.

The tip is useful. Thanks. IKEA should be sued for an article like this. Like sued in the way that it would known as the lamp flaw morons. The teenager that invented this should go back to school. Imagine, you struggled for days. Ridiculous. One time I lost 10 euros, that fell from the pocket. They were more useful than the money I spent on this. Yes, it's cheap, but it's totally wasteless.

@@antonminyailo5976 For some reason seeing just the start of it allowed me to finish it in about 30 seconds after wasting 15-20 minutes trying to get the lampshade to fit around. Just clipping them in kind of did it for me. I'll admit, I came here to maybe see someone swear at the shade to share my frustration on how to put that part together. Then we had misplaced 2 of the 3 little bars and wasted another 15 minutes searching for them. We were SO close to finishing the lamp. It's up now and it's decent for a 10 euro floorlamp (including the LED bulb).

@TheGlovesMan Жыл бұрын
Ikea recommends `E27 globe opal white`. And about lumens, for a cozy look, go for a mid range lumen bulb that will provide adequate light in your room. It will also not blow a lot of light. I would recommend this one 740 lumens - amzn.to/3yBeRYV If you want additional light, then go for this 1100 lumens bulb - amzn.to/3rRQBOs
