WBM Salt Lamp – USB Himalayan Salt Lamp with Touch Dimmer Control | Wooden Base | LED Bulb | 5-7lbs

I've been wanting one of these lamps for a long time. I promised myself as soon as the pricegot within my range, it would be mine. So many people had good things to say about the WBM brandas well, I kept looking at those lamp options. I am SO glad that I bought it.It arrived today. The box had a tear in the lid. The lamp had a chunk broken off of it as well.(A fairly substantial piece, yet I did not feel it mattered enough to return the lamp. See photos.)The lamp is MUCH heavier than I had expected, so that was a surprise. You would definitely not want toplace this where it could be knocked off or tipped over easily, or over a glass shelf. In our case, wehave curious cats, so its final place will need to be where the cats cannot rub on it and tip it over orknock it off onto something else.The base is very sturdy and looks nice. Mine is a medium brown tone and would fit in about any décor.I love the natural look of the lamp. (I have photos of the lamp both on and off - please check the additionalphotos in the item description.) I really look forward to seeing how it looks at night in a dark room.Some of the things in the tiny print in the usage manual include not using it outside, and to always use aplacemat or coaster due to the salt "sweating" and possibly damaging furniture. Right now, mine is on a surfacethat won't matter, but it is worth mentioning, in case you might have plans to place it on a good end table or bookcase.In my case, this is going to be in my bedroom, and I already have an orange bedspread, so it fits right in.However, I would love this no matter what colors I had in my room.The height and size varies naturally, so no two lamps will be alike. Mine is approximately 8.25" tall (includingthe base), and fits well into the bedroom. It seems to be about 4.5" wide. I love all the natural crags and crevacesof the lamp. The backside of mine is flat, but that's okay too.I am using the original night light (which is replaceable either to change colors or replace a burned out light), andthe lamp gives off a very pleasant orange/peach glow. I like just looking at it too, and will probably stare at it alittle more in the dark! Ha!As far as freshening the air with the negative ions - it is too soon to tell, so I'll update my review once I feel we'vehad time to feel a difference. Our bedroom is not huge (maybe 10x11), so 2-3 weeks should be enough time to feel any breathingdifferences. Both my daughter and I have asthma and allergies. The cats are in and out of here all day long as well, soanything it can do to help is going to be great. I've read both good and bad about the negative ion thing and asthma, soI have placed it away from where my head will actually be in bed.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and will probably be buying more as the money allows. The look alone is enoughto please me, and I do hope the salt lives up to the claims on the air freshening.UPDATE AUG 2011:We now have THREE of these lamps. Yes, they seem to do that much good for the air quality.We have a very small place, and despite changing the filters monthly, is the most dusty place in whichI've ever lived. Since using these lamps, I no longer experience that burning in my sinuses that I had before.Each lamp received has been very different, with the last one being the lightest in color.However, as long as they are all a chunk of the salt, and they do their job, I can live with that.I want to get a smaller one for our bathroom as well.NOTE: When replacing the bulbs, they use a bulb just like a Christmas tree light. HOWEVER - most holiday lightsare only 4 watts. You will NOT get the air purifying effect with that - it will be a decorative light only. Thesalt has to get warm to help filter the air, and that only happens with a 15-watt bulb. They are available in2-packs at WalMart, and I am sure many other places. Just check on your wattage if your lamp does not seem to bedoing much.

I ordered this lamp and a nightlight salt lamp. Arrived yesterday and both ore gorgeous. The large one is dimmable and looks so relaxing and pretty on the table in my sunroom. It’s perfectly made and the color is stunning. I think I will order several of these. If you haven’t had a Himalayan salt lamp you should try it. It’s a warm glow that permeates the whole room. I love the ambiance this lamp provides.

I wanted a lamp for my bedroom because I was sick of having to either sit in the dark or have the extremely bright light on all the time. So I looked up "bedroom lamp" on Amazon and this was one of the first results. I love minerals and crystals of all kinds so the appearance immediately made me take a look. I loved the idea of a lamp made out of salt with health benefits. I read about how this lamp works and decided to give it a try. I ordered it on Saturday morning around 10 AM and it was delivered the next day at 11 AM. Amazing. I have Amazon prime and was expecting to get it monday and was pleasantly surprised that it had been delivered a day early. It got to me within 24 hours of ordering, A+++ service. It was wrapped up so tight it took me about 10 minutes to get past the many barriers (boxes with lots of tape and then bubble wrap covered with tape. I'm too stubborn to actually get a scissors but I was pleased with how the lamp comes packaged. You would basically have to drop it off the empire state building to break it and even then the solid packaging still keeps it safe and secure. Although I can understand the other commentors that mentioned reviving damaged lamps because remember, it is made of salt and is breakable when shuffled around too much. I took it out and it was in perfect condition, plugged it in and fell in love. Hard.This lamp is exactly what you need in your life. I am completely serious. When I look at this lamp I feel calm and convertible. It almost gives me a gentle hug when I look at it. So calming and beautiful. It gives off a pinkish/orange glow that is so pretty you won't want to look away. I honestly can't describe how it looks because I can't think of words to adequately describe its amazing benefits and beauty. I love sleeping with it on next to me and I've been sleeping so much better. I love it and so does everyone who sees it. I plan on getting one for all my loved ones at Christmas time!!!! :) the dimmer makrs the lamp even more enjoyable as it allows you to choose what degree of light you feel like. So when I'm ready for bed I turn it down low so it only gives off a soft warm glow. I leave it on all day and dim it higher and lower depending on my mood or the weather. I'm so glad I found this! I love it so much that I couldn't wait very long to buy another one, so I did 5 days after receiving my first one. My lamps make my bedroom feel calm and soothing. I also bought the Himalayan salt candles and placed electric flickering tea lights in them so I can leave them on all the time along with my lamps. I love love love Himalayan salt lamps!!!!! I will be a forever customer and definitely see myself purchasing more in the future. I don't know about the supposed health benefits, but these lamps do in fact benefit benefit me in the sense that I feel very happy, calm and relaxed when looking at or being close to them. So as far as I'm concerned, they absolutely do benefit my health! I'm a clinical psychologist and I do believe that these impact my metal health in a very positive way. I will be recommending Himalayan salt lamps to everyone I know (I already have!!!!) very unique and beautiful

It was perfect ! I wish it was larger but it is a good size. Stand is wonkie but lights up and looks good. Now let's see if it does its work.
