Customer Reviews

Extraordinarily sturdy, but very dim light
I wanted a good reading lamp and bought this lamp after doing a bit of research. After taking the very heavy lamp out of the box and assembling it, I turned it on to find that it gives off very little light. I thought it might be something I would need to get used to and sat down that night to read only to find that my eyes were straining under the light. I tried using the lamp during the day/twilight and found that the illumination of the lamp was barely noticable. Though it was quite a feat to put the lamp back into the box it was shipped in, I returned it to Amazon which is something I rarely do.

does the job
I needed a lamp that could sit next to the Lazy Boy and not look too out of place. This does the job. It's not too futuristic.

Now the great news... the light is great. It really reduces eye strain. There are three settings to the light, so the best easiest on the eyes is easy to find.

When you unpack it, it will look like the bulb is already installed. It wasn't. I had to take it out and plug it in for it to work, but otherwise, it's no big deal.

I recommend this light.

Great for reading, especially in the evening
Great for reading, especially in the evenings when normal bulbs make the page look yellow. Not great if you want ambient light - but then again, that's not it's purpose. When sitting under it you'll feel a little like a plant under a grow lamp, but it really is excellent for reading. I probably sit and read for 2-3 hours at a time with no eye strain at all. Nice finish, too. Looks far more expensive that it is.
