    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.

      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
      @TheGlovesMan  Рік тому

      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
