Ikea lamps have proved to be the bane of my life. I've bought several of the damn things, only to have housemate after housemate break them. Ikea do a couple of different styles in the range - this cube Grono lamp and another round, tube-like one. I originally bought the round one, but after several comments about how it looked like a hospital pee bottle and a couple of replacements later, I decided to go for this cube Grono lamp instead. Although I think the shape is a bit boring, it's more easily situated on my windowsill and I thought that there was less chance of knocking it or breaking it because of its straight sides. The lamp is available in at least ...  Read the complete review

Ikea have some great budget lighting options don't they?! This funky bedside or table lamp is only 3.59 pounds - bargain! I use my Grono lamp next to my bed. It is approximately 20cm high and 10cm wide. It takes candle (chandelier) screw-in light bulbs with a maximum wattage of 40W. Bulbs are obviously sold separately from the unit itself. The light unit is made from quit thick, sturdy frosted white glass with a matt finish. It is very simple but sleek in design and definitely does not look cheap, as the price might suggest! It is operated by a simple on/off switch on a white cord. The cord is 2m long - more than enough length I find. There is a ...  Read the complete review

I'm a huge fan of Ikea lighting, I think that the variety and quality, and the prices are excellent. I'm forever buying lamps from Ikea and then dotting them all over the house, it's a good job we live in a big house with lots of rooms! My husband actually chose this table lamp as a bedside lamp, we only bought the one as I wanted to check the amount of light it gave off to read with first. I've made the mistake with previous lamps from Ikea that didn't give off enough light to read by. The Grono table lamp is £4.49. It is 10cm x 10cm, and 22cm high. The Grono range also has a set of 2 table lamps available as well for £12.99. These are ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who has read my previous reviews will know that I'm a big fan of Ikea, and love spending an evening of my life wandering round the soft furnishings and "housey" things they have just before you get to the till. These lamps are probably one of the best known and widely owned Ikea products, at one time I think myself and all my friends had these lamps somewhere in their house. I owned two of these lamps for about 8 years, and have literally only replaced them about two months ago. They are small-ish but rectangular in shape, white on the outside but also slightly frosted looking glass, and have a switch on the lead which is a decent length. ...  Read the complete review

The IKEA grono lamp is a brilliant little buy that will be great in nearly any room. The lamp is very simple, itis a single bulb inside a cube made out of frosted glass. There is a groove in the glass which the cable comes out of to keep it stable. This lamp doesn't get very hot so it is okay to use it anywhere in a room. I bought one of these lamps a few years ago and because it was so useful have bought two more since. The bulb is not particularly bright, especially when it is first turned on as it takes a little time to warm up properly. Once the light is at full glow it is good for ambient lighting in a room, it is not good enough to read by though. I haven't tried ..  Read the complete review
