This is an expensive lamp, but it's easy to set up, looks great (the unattractive tray is easily detached), and shines with the perfect amount of light for reading. The bulbs really do last a very long time, shine beautifully white light, and are energy-efficient. Some minor quibbles: The difference between the "bright" setting and the "dim" setting is too miniscule to even notice. Also, the maximum height on the lamp is only about 5'4" (unbent), which is fine for me and my reading chair, but you might require a taller floor lamp.

Love this lamp! Great for arthritis, hobbies, and those with poor eyesight, but there are some things you should know. "You don't need nimble fingers or a strong grip", only applies AFTER the lamp is assembled. Best way to assemble is to lay the lamp horizontally on its side on carpet and go from there. Do not place upright until completely assembled. Light bulb is very hard to insert. If you are changing the bulb at a later date, flex the neck backwards until the bulb is horizontal to the ceiling. You will save yourself a lot of frustration. Also, the lamp I received was obviously returned by a previous customer. Too much trouble to return, but am not pleased Amazon sent me a used product and charged an arm & a leg for it. Packaging leaves something to be desired. Both package and lamp are very heavy.

We bought this lamp because we gave our old one to our church organist. She is 70 - something and needed really good light to see the music. Works perfect. We use ours to provide good light for knitting.
