Shopper Reviews
One shopper said: "This little shade packs a punch way above its size! The quality is top notch and it has added some much needed personality to a very basic lamp base."
A second review read: "I got two green ones for some wall lights they are the perfect size. I love the country style."
A third fan said: "I bought the red ones and am very pleased with them. They look so much more expensive than they are, really good quality. Recommend."

Alternatives and Criticism
For a slightly more vintage vibe, Next is selling the Rockett St George Easy Fit Shade Retro Glow Ribbed Glass Shade in amber or green, priced at £39. Dusk is also offering the Akari Origami Easy-Fit Ceiling Light Shade, reduced from £69 to £41.
However, not all shoppers were as keen on the Dunelm shade. One one-star review read: "Poor quality as when illuminated the yellow adhesive strip shows through. Shame as the design is great."
