Waneway 40cm White Feather Ceiling Pendant Light Shade, Non-Electrical Lampshade for Floor Lamp and Table Lamp with Shade Reducing Ring for Living Room, Dining Room and Bedroom, ID 30cm, OD 40cm

This shade feels sturdy and well made. I've got it in my bedroom but I'd say it would work in a living/dining room too. The instructions were very easy to follow and it comes with everything you need to attach it to a regular light fitting - you just need a light fitting with a bit you can unscrew so you can screw the attachment in place. Some old light fittings have lost the bottom part - if that's the case I'm sure you can buy a replacement for that bit. It's not heavy, the metal part fits inside perfectly, it looks playful and interesting, and the light is still nice and white and is still bright when I turn it up full, and it diffuses really well without casting shadows, which is exactly what I wanted. As you can see in my photos there is a small opening at the bottom, in case that's a concern. I chose a different origami lampshade for my living room - the light there creates a spotlight above the sofa, so I wanted something closed underneath. This one does have a hole at the bottom like most lampshades, albeit this one is smallish and somewhat shaded by a few feathers. You attach everything - lightbulb and metal frame - and then stretch the shade over the metal frame as the final step. It came flat in a study box, the shape of a pizza box. I'd happily buy this again and i think it would make a nice gift.

I was worried whether this would lose feathers and how easy it would be to fit but I have had no problems at all. There’s a metal bracket that you place inside that kind of wedges it open, someone preferably with a small hand can then place their hand inside from the bottom opening and attach to your lightbulb fitting. Only took a few minutes to do, there was no loss of feathers or mess and it looks fantastic! Really happy. It gives off a soft light and you get different shadows from the feathers. A definite recommendation from me.

Such a beautiful lightshade

great size, light shines through brightly. Looks really good. Just need to be careful when opening up as a few loose feathers. Not something that can be messed with too much. But once up looks great. Not to sure how best to clean it when it’s dusty. Not sure it will cope with a vacuum so will try a feather duster or something similar.

Pefect finishing touch for a bedroom, its lovely. Hardly any feathers came off when we put it up. So pleased with it.

I love these lamp shades. They look cute and are brilliant with coloured lighting. I have the white ones and they do not mess with the colour of the lighting, it is nice and bright when set on white and coloured light comes out true. They look soft and fluffy enough to hug and the ball shape helps this effect. Good in living rooms, bedrooms and kids rooms. These are adorable.

A proper big round ball of lovely white feathers! So it came the next day. Good start. It comes totally flat packed - it's easy to pop up and put the metal frame inside. Hardly any feathers came off mine so all good. It's big, it's round, and you can't see the bulb at all through it if you fluff it up nicely and fluff the feathers a bit round the hole at the bottom. My only problem with it was getting my hand up inside it while holding the top the put the screw thing on to hold it up. And then again to get the bulb in ... I only have little hands as well! If they made the hole at the bottom bigger it would be easier to get your hand up it, but less easy to get the feathers to fluff across the hole and we'd all be moaning that we could see the bulb. So i haven't taken off a star - just be aware it's a bit of a faff. (so get a chair don't wobble about on tip toes on the bed like i did) :)

Gorgeous lampshade, easy to fit , looks fab , good quality, does look yellow when switched on but only in picture as it’s still white when on .
