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.

There is a reason so many mental health professionals have these in their offices. It is so calming and pretty. It also adds just the right amount of light without being annoying when you sleep or need to get up at night.

Very surprised by the quality of this lamp. The salt chunk is Quite heavy and quality made, and the stand is real wood. I also like how the power button and dimmer settings are built right into the USB power cord.

I purchased the WBM USB Himalayan Salt Lamp with Touch Dimmer Control and was immediately impressed by its appearance. The natural pink salt crystal creates a warm, relaxing glow that works well as a bedside lamp or desk accent.The WBM USB Himalayan Salt Lamp makes an attractive addition to a desk, nightstand, or office space. The natural pink salt crystal produces a warm, calming glow that creates a cozy atmosphere, and the touch dimmer allows you to adjust the brightness to suit the room.Brightness & ColorThe light output is soft and relaxing rather than overly bright, making it ideal as ambient lighting. The natural salt crystal produces a beautiful warm amber glow that looks exactly as I hoped.Assembly & StabilityThere is virtually no assembly required. One thing to note is that the salt pillar simply rests on the wooden base and is not physically secured to it. Initially I expected it to lock into place, but the crystal is heavy enough that it remains reasonably stable during normal use. I would still recommend handling it carefully when moving the lamp.ReliabilityUnfortunately, my particular unit arrived with an issue affecting the touch switch/dimmer control. Because of this, I wasn't able to fully evaluate long-term performance. However, a replacement is already on its way, and the exchange process has been straightforward.OverallAside from the defective switch on my unit, the lamp itself is attractive, provides a lovely warm glow, and feels like a quality decorative piece. I'm optimistic that the replacement will deliver the experience the product is designed to provide. For now, I'm giving it 4 stars based on its appearance, lighting quality, and overall design.I returned the faulty one and received a replacement the next day

It's a beautiful lamp that is very pleasing to look at, and its heavy. I like the dimmer switch which allows you to make it as bright or dimmer, this is a great added bonus. Its important that air can circulate under the lamp, and it should be placed where it can't fall over because it will break.If you have children, or pets place it where they can't knock it over because it could cause injury or death due to the weight of it if it falls on your child or pet. Accidental injury can also be caused if a pet or child can get to the cord.I came across this item while I was looking at other items on Amazon, and I did a lot of reading on salt lamps that are suppose to be beneficial for a variety of health issues.I read ALL of the instructions which I recommend everyone do, and its suggested that you clean the lamp, and keep it wrapped while not in use.Its very easy to clean, and NEVER should be immerged in water. This is a dust collector, and does get dirty. I clean it by holding it sideways under water to rinse it off, and I use a soft cloth.The directions enclosed with the lamp said that in order for the lamp to work it has to become heated. The price of these lamps jump significantly as you increase the size, and there are several styles to choose from, and enclosed with the lamp was a brochure and several pictures of various lamps. The weight, and size of the lamp is printed on the bottom of the box which is very easy to read, and the lamp was carefully packed, and wrapped. I'm planning on keeping the box which has a huge picture of the item on the outside of the box. The instructions also clearly explain how many lamps you need for the size of the room that you have.I plan on buying several more of these lamps which can be used for meditation. I read some of the reviews by other buyers, and this is a pretty bright lamp, its not meant to be used like an ordinary lamp, nor is it dim as one person wrote. There are smaller lamps than this one but the cost to buy the little ones didn't make sense to me.No two lamps are alike, so its like owning a little piece of artwork. I love unusual, and unique items, and this is certainty one of them.I will update this review when sufficient time has passed to let others know how effective this is as far as cleaning the air. Even if it doesn't do as stated. I'm very pleased with my purchase, I'm going to use it in the bedroom, and turn it on every night before I go to sleep to see if helps my sleep.I haven't decided where I'm going to place it yet but I plan on putting it where I can easily adjust the dimmer, and see it especially at nighttime.

I just got it, so these are my first impressions of it.First, right out of the box, other box, and bubble-wrap, it had the same salt-ooze crust that others have mentioned. (CSI) It was vertical when it oozed, and it seems to have come out from just above the wood base, so I suspect the glue they're using to hold the base to the salt dissolved a bit and it ran down. (/CSI) It chips off easily enough and doesn't seem to harm the wood.It's a LOT heavier than it looks. The wood looks kind of dry, like it hadn't been finished. Not a drawback to me, but it would take a little work to make it look like the one in the picture. Scrape the crust off, and oil the wood with some kind of wood finishing oil. I'm not going to bother, myself.Everything in the lamp's box was covered in fine salt, including the cord which was individually bagged in tiny-bubble wrap. You may want to open it outside and brush everything off before bringing it inside. The knob had fallen off the dimmer, but just pressed back on, it wasn't broken.Because of the natural variation in the salt these are mined from, the colors vary. Don't set your heart on a particular color. Mine varied, from one side having a near white vein through orange and pinkish to some dark red areas. (Colors approximate; I'm colorblind.) You could easily put a colored bulb in it to adjust the color if you like. One of the 'people who bought this also bought these' things was a 'purple' salt lamp, but it was a normal one with a purple bulb. Be aware, though, that incandescent 'black light' bulbs get EXTREMELY hot. It won't harm the salt, which is a fireproof rock after all, but containing the heat inside it will probably melt the plastic base. I had several bulbs when I was a kid and lost a number of sets of fingerprints to them.Finally... don't buy these for health benefits. They don't have any. Don't believe me, do your own research. All the woo about ions and such is meaningless. Electronic negative ion air purifiers work by charging the air they're pulling through with electricity. Salt is sodium and chlorine, making NaCl. If this was actually ionizing anything, it would shrink down to nothing and vanish eventually because an ion is a molecule with an electric charge. The bond between the sodium and chloride in salt is very strong, and a 15 watt lamp isn't going to come anywhere near breaking it. It might be slightly useful as a dehumidifier... but think about how a real dehumidifier works. It has a cold coil that the moisture condenses on. This is salt, which is hygroscopic (water-loving), but when you heat it, the water is going to evaporate and go right back into the air. Or more likely, never condense at all.Don't buy these for the 'health benefits'; they don't exist. Buy it because it's beautiful, which it certainly is. I intend to see about getting a timer/dimmer and using it as a sunrise wakeup light.(Next day edit) I left it on full power for about 24 hours when I first got it just to see how much it'd warm up. It was barely warm to the touch at the bottom where the bulb is. With the 15 watt bulb, it's probably safe to leave it on all the time if you want to, but apply the usual disclaimers about I'm not a lawyer and if you manage to burn your house down with it, I'll feel sorry but have no other reactions.

If I could give the WBM company where this Himalayan Salt Lamp comes from a ZERO star review, I would! They do not care about their customers at all! I bought 2 of these Salt Lamps, a Himalayan Salt Chunk Basket, and 4 Himalayan Tea Light Candle Holders from this company all in one day! The Himalayan Salt Chunk Basket came first. These items are EXTREMELY heavy.......a lot heavier than I thought they would be. Anyway, after opening the box and unpackaging the item (which is packaged in many different layers), I set out the lamp and plugged it in. Much to my dismay, the light did not work in my Salt Lamp. I turned the dimmer switch up and down a couple of times and it turned on for a minute and then turned off again. I found that if I had the dimmer switch in just the right position, it worked. But, as soon as I moved it just a tiny bit, it would turn off again. I do not want a plug/dimmer switch/bulb that works some of the time, I want one that works ALL of the time! Then I looked at all of the salt chunks in the basket. All of the WBM products claim to give off an AMBER glow. For the few minutes that my Salt Lamp was on, I noticed that the Salt Chunks were mainly white with a few pink chunks thrown in. Those were my two main issues with the Himalayan Salt Chunk Basket. Then, the next day my 4 Himalayan Salt Tea Light Candle Holders and 2 of the #1002 Himalayan Salt Lamps arrived! The box was so heavy.......I would say at least 30 pounds. I got everything out, unpackaged the products for about a half an hour because of how many layers they are wrapped in and looked at everything. The two Salt Lamps looked beautiful! Two of the Tea Light Candle Holders were pink and two of the Tea Light Candle Holders were a dirty white color like you would see in the snow in the winter. One of the white ones looked like it was nearly cut right in half. Now, I understand that Himalayan Salt is a naturally occurring substance and that each product will be a bit different, but these tea light candle holders varied not only in color, but in weight. I would say that they can vary by up to a pound or two. Yes, they are that different. I put tea light candles in all four of the tea light holders and 2 of them were a beautiful amber color (as stated on ALL WBM products), and two of them looked like salt that was put on the road after a heavy snow......DIRTY WHITE! I was happy with the two pink tea light candle holders but VERY UNHAPPY with the other two! Then I went to plug in the two Salt Lamps. Well, one of the plug/dimmer switch/bulbs was smashed at the dimmer switch and did not turn on at all! I plugged in the other Salt Lamp and although it's plug/dimmer switch/bulb was not smashed, it did not work either!!! OMG! I ORDERED 7 PRODUCTS FROM THIS COMPANY AND ONLY 2 OF THE TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS WERE AS DESCRIBED! The other 2 were dirty white in color and one was carved practically in half. NONE OF MY HIMALAYAN SALT LAMPS WORKED BECAUSE OF THE DIMMER SWITCHES!!!! I was VERY disappointed! I called Amazon and told a Customer Service Rep. what was going on and she provided me with WBM's Customer Service Number. I called it and talked to one of WBM's Customer Service Reps. He said that I had to email WBM after he took down notes on every single issue that I had with my WBM products. So, I wrote to WBM. I waited a couple of days and received NO RESPONSE. I resent my original email to WBM again........STILL NO RESPONSE! I wrote to WBM a third time telling them that I needed 3 new plug/dimmer switches/bulbs, a new bag of salt chunks for the Salt Basket Lamp, and 2 of the 4 Tea Light Candle Holders replaced. I was expecting all of these FREE OF CHARGE because I was clearly sent DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS! I got a response stating that I would receive the 3 plug/dimmer switches/bulbs free of charge, but that they did not replace Salt Chunks (Even though they were mainly dirty and white) and they would not replace the 2 Tea Light Candle Holders free of charge! I was asked for my address and told that the three dimmer switches would be sent to me. AT THIS POINT, I AM JUST FUMING MAD! I PAID $75 FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND WBM WAS ONLY GOING TO SEND ME THE 3 DIMMER SWITCHES FREE OF CHARGE! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WBM DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT SALT CHUNKS! REALLY? WHERE DO YOU GET THE SALT CHUNKS FOR ALL OF YOUR OTHER SALT CHUNK BASKETS? AND THE 2 TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS THAT ARE DIRTY AND WHITE AND CARVED INCORRECTLY COST $10.00 FOR BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER AS I BOUGHT THE TWO PACK! SO WBM EXPECTS ME TO SHIP BACK THE TWO DIRTY WHITE TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDERS THAT WEIGH SO MUCH THAT IT WOULD COST ME MORE IN SHIPPING THAN I PAID FOR THEM! WHAT A JOKE! IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE MY ORIGINAL EMAIL WAS SENT TO WBM AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY 3 FREE PLUGS/DIMMER SWITCHES/BULBS!!!!! WBM SELLS DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS! The one good thing I can say is that Amazon went ahead and replaced my two dirty white Tea Light Candle Holders FREE OF CHARGE and did not make me send the ones that I have back! The second two were much better! I WOULD SHIP EVERY SINGLE SALT LAMP AND TEA LIGHT CANDLE HOLDER RIGHT BACK IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEIR CONSIDERABLE WEIGHT AND FACT THAT I AM AFRAID THE LAMPS WOULD BREAK DURING RETURN SHIPPING! WBM........GET A CLUE! CUSTOMER SERVICE ALWAYS COMES FIRST AND YOU HAVE NOT DONE ONE THING FOR ME TO HELP ME WITH ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED!

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

Primo:j'ai commandé cette lampe en même temps que ma lampe Verilux vendredi soir et j'ai eu les deux samedi matin! C'est un record, même avec Prime! Secundo : soigneusement emballées, les deux sont arrivées impeccables, prêtes à être utilisées tout de suite. Tertio : cette lampe est unique, faite à la main, de très belle forme, exactement comme je l'ai désirée. Elle diffuse la lumière douce et chaude, qui fait du bien et declanche un sourire intérieur. Je me moque de preuves scientifiques, si sont valables ou non, je ressens tout simplement qu'elle me fait du bien et m'apporte l'apaisement et de la joie. A souligner aussi, que la possibilité de réglage d'intensité de sa lumière est très, très très appréciée! C'est une lampe magique, à recommander à 100%!🤗

Wow !Beautiful and relaxing.Not sure about health benefits in my case, but so many people claim they see benefits it's hard not to believe.I noticed a fresher air in the house...no more dog odor...since when I smell the lamp at close range ( 1 feet or less ) I sent a salt odor it's plausible that it purify air by releasing a small amount of ions salt in the air...Excellent quality versus another salt lamp that I have buy on amazon and return the same day I have received it.Very good protective packaging, it arrive in perfect condition.Instructions booklet include with interesting fact and advice.Excellent quality at a very good price.I will probably buy another one for a gift a soon as they will be available again on amazon.caBuy it and you will love it.

I bought this because my mother recommended I have one or two in the house. While I can't entirely comment on the effects of the product, I can for the quality.I was very excited to get this because it would be a surprise as to how it looked. And I was not disappointed. It has a beautiful shape. Nice and natural looking. The light reaches all the way through with no overly dark patches.The cord is long enough and has a dimmer knob which I find fantastic. Nice night light at dimmer settings. The salt part doesn't get hot and neither does the cord.

Purchased it. First arrived in a beat up box wrapped in a black plastic bag. The lamp itself seemed to have a wiring connection issue as indicated by the dimmer not working and any bumping of the wire caused the lamp to dim all the way, or flicker, or go out completely. Requested a replacement. 2 days later a replacement came - this time with no internal bulb nor plastic base below the wooden base to keep it from slipping (the first iteration had that as part of the bulb housing); the product is advertised as including an LED bulb. Going to request a refund and will not buy again.
