This sleek, minimalist floor lamp works in almost every room. We've moved it from the dining room to our home office to a bedroom with no overhead fixture as we decide on the best spot. It is plenty bright for the office; it glows warmly when dimmed. It was very easy to assemble. I do wish it would "remember" the last setting when used with a wall switch. We are thinking of buying a second one, or trying one of the arc styles, since we need a reading lamp for the living room.
