We Tested (and Rated!) Every Lamp at Urban Outfitters Lighting and lamps can be surprisingly difficult to buy online. As shopping editors, we spend hours dreaming about stylish table lamps, but when it comes time to click “checkout,” even we sometimes freeze. Though the site’s lamp photos are good, you can’t be sure what it’ll look like in your space or how bright the lamp actually is. We all don’t want to use the “big light” (aka the fluorescent overhead light) in our apartments. We’d rather make our space more welcoming, but that can be difficult to achieve when you’re hunting down lamps online. Will the table lamp you bought provide the right amount of ambient light? Is your floor lamp going to shine down at the exact angle you need to get some reading done? And, barring all that, can you track down the light bulb you need? That’s where we come in — we decided to visit one of Urban Outfitters‘ locations in NYC to see all of their table lamps, pendant lights, and floor lamps in person to give you, dear reader, more confidence in choosing the right one for your space and style.Get more news about poly resin floor lamp brand,you can vist our website! As your Personal Shopper, we’ve gone to Pottery Barn to evaluate their rugs, bed frames, and sofas; to West Elm for a look at their sofas, dining tables, and coffee tables; and to Urban Outfitters to put their sofas and chairs to the test. This time, we went to Urban Outfitters to check out every lamp and piece of lighting in store. We lingered for an uncomfortably long time, took notes, and even snapped photos to help find the best lighting and lamps for you. Here are the results. The Criteria We judged every Urban Outfitters lamp in-store based on the following four criteria, giving each category an average rating between 1 and 5. These scores helped us determine who the lamp suits best, from the person who has little natural light in their space to the trendsetter who is on the hunt for an accent piece. Aesthetic: What style does it suit best? Is it more traditional (sporting a woven drum lampshade and classic arc or oval base silhouettes) or contemporary (made up of an unusual material, and/or featuring a structural base that looks like a work of art)? Brightness: How does the lamp’s design light up a space? Does the lamp have shades that soften the light to create a more relaxing, wind-down vibe? Or are the light fixtures unobstructed by shades and bright enough to serve as the primary light in a space? Versatility: Can you use the lamp in multiple spots in your home (e.g., a desk lamp that could also become an accent lamp in your bedroom)? Or can the lamp only be used in one spot or way (e.g., a floor lamp that’s meant to provide soft, ambient light)?
