Dunelm shoppers have fallen in love with a quirky table lamp that has racked up more than 180 five-star reviews. The £32 Darcy Resin Duck White Table Lamp features an adorable duck holding an umbrella, with the canopy acting as the lamp shade.
The homeware giant says the lamp adds "fun and character" to rooms. The resin mould construction has a hand-painted finish and comes ready assembled. A bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. The umbrella shade has a textured, scalloped dome shape, while the fringe has a detailed finish.
Shoppers share their verdicts
The lamp currently averages 4.4 stars from 240 reviews on the Dunelm website, with 183 five-star ratings. One happy buyer said: "I love this Darcy duck lamp. Everyone comments on it. I have bought four now as presents for my family. Even my neighbours bought one. It's so cute."
Another wrote: "Love my little duck lamp, it’s very charming. Adds character." A third commented: "Good quality purchase, well worth the money. Fits well on a small side table."
A further buyer added: "Had my eye on this for a while and it hasn’t disappointed. Lovely lamp. Soft light and very pretty."
Not everyone is convinced
While most feedback is glowing, one customer said the duck 'looks a bit soulless', and another noted the 'shade could be better'. One person admitted 'you either love it or hate it', adding they 'knew they had married their soulmate' when their husband chose the lamp.
