After many years, finally awaiting the shipping of the Lamp. I contacted Lampster via Facebook and they were quick to respond and help me with Individualized shipping to the US. I appreciate their fast response and look forward to receiving the Lamp and will post more details then

Pro: The unique design and the wide range of functions. Cons: The app is overloaded with designs, but a bit slow. The material of the body also looks very cheap. Overall, the lamp is of course an absolute eye-catcher, is used by me too little.

Edit from 07/04/2020 : I finally received my Lampster last week on 01/04, so 2 weeks after fast shipping subscription (covid-19 issues included...). Everything is fine : nothing broken, the Lampster works well. Sometimes there is a little bug with the app BT connection but nothing serious. 4 stars for the quality of the product and last efforts from support team. Would have been 5 without 4 years awaiting and the lack of public communication from the team. My last advice : if you want to move forward, think to get the fast shipping option. 30€ is cheap to calm your mind... --- Edit from 18/03/2020 : Support team came back to me with apologies about missing my last email treatment and explanations about shipping costs increase, leading to delivery issues and delays. They suggested to subscribe to extra "fast shipping option" (to be clear, shipping is no more free but I pay for what is due for it : I checked fare on UPS website) and I accepted in order to help them to deal with shipping costs increase and move forward. Now waiting for my Lampster to come more quickly. Next update to come once it arrives... --- Original post following : My order was placed on 25/02/2016 (yes, 2016) on the Lampster official website as a regular customer, not as a crowdfunder on Kickstarter or Indiegogo (which may include risks according to crowdfunding definition). 4 years after, I do not have received anything and have no responses to my last messages. My email address is no more recognized on their website, so it seems my account has been deleted... My advice : run away !

Item finally received - the designers have been fast to respond (usually) and after paying for individual shipping, the goods just arrived today. The product is as expected.

I like my Lampster but he has a app problem. The look is amazing on my desk with his hero position and his cute big eye. But he can`t save the lateist color settings. When you switch of the lampster and turn on, the color is white and not the lateist settings. In app you has no option to save color settings for a fast setup. Maybe in the future. Maybe also with smart home features?

To be fair, this review is for the product only The lamp itself is perfect, as polished and finished as can be. Packaging was excellent. Assembly took about 1 minute. The reason for 4 stars is for the app, which needs a bit more work and could do with more functionality. Disclaimer: I waited 4 years plus for the kickstarter product haha...

Well it was a long wait at 3 Years 7 months and had to pay additional for individual shipping, had to get that out of the way first. Excellent condition very well packed they even included a extra lens just in case. Bubble wrapped and in a nice burlap bag with their logo. Easy to assemble including adding aquarium rocks we had pre purchased for weight, no danger of tipping over those rubber boots have good grip. Love the Red Artsy paint job looks even better then in their photos and was exactly the look I was hoping for. I mostly use it as mood lighting next to my TV, the App makes it easy to select the color and brightness. Only problem I had was with Bluetooth being temperamental but that is also an issue with other Bluetooth devices I have. All in all worth the wait and if I had the funds would love to get a Red Army and/or Zombie.

The Lampster is great! It's a great piece to have in the home, the variations in lights via the app are wonderful and the little Lampster man is fun to have around! It's a magnificant piece and I loved it the moment it came out on Kickstarter. Why 4* only? After backing the Lampster, it took a looooong time (2+ yrs) to receive the first lamp and we're still waiting for number 2. I fully understand that mass-production is difficult because of it's variety of choices and Lampster has struggled to meet deadlines. Once I have got Lampster man 2 in the house, I'm sure the long wait will be easily forgotten and the two guys can finally be together. Can't wait!
