Do you like buying garbage?
Get yourself a floor lamp from Good Earth Lighting.
http://www.goodearthlighting.com/ I slid one of their floor lamps out of a corner over the weekend to vacuum around it, and the weight inside the base crumbled like a giant cookie. Nice. The company says "We've heard of this before", but they won't cover it even though it's just a month or two out of warranty. First one I bought went bad within a month. The company shipped me a replacement and told me to toss the old one in the trash. That should provide some idea of how little they pay for this junk from China. Crumbled weighting substance. Seemed heavier than it should've for its size, after I scooped it all into a bag. Probably the pulverized bones of Chinese dissidents, mixed with lead: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...g?t=1261427795 What's left to work with: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...g?t=1261427865 I'll probably epoxy some bricks to the top of the base. Or something. |
