The matte black finish is clean and elegant, and the two wood shelves are a major bonus — perfect for small plants, books, or decorative pieces. The light it gives off is warm and cozy, great for reading or just creating a relaxing vibe in the room. The assembly was super simple and took me about 15 minutes. I was also impressed with how sturdy it feels once everything is in place. For the price, you really can't beat the value. It's both a lamp and a stylish display piece, all in one. I've gotten tons of compliments already. Definitely recommend this if you want something affordable that still looks high-end!" —Akira

Thank you for a beautiful product!" —April

Walmart

Promising review: "This is one of the best features of my bathroom. I love how there is a timer — 15, 30, or 45 minutes, and when you get out of the tub, your towels are toasty.

Walmart

Promising review: "Love this wallpaper! We wanted to revamp our walls in our business, and this wallpaper is amazing! Very easy to apply, we noticed some peeling; however, it was in a section close to a window with the natural sunlight making it hot.

If you're on the fence, get it!" —Shannon
