The magnifier table lamp was a perfect solution for my mother-in-law who has macular degeneration. The magnification and bright light and large veiwing area are just right.  She was so happy to be able to read her prayer book and her mail! The lamp is well made, very sturdy and assembly was easy. I originally ordered 2 lamps, the table top and the roiling lamp because I wanted to see which she preferred for her apartment. The rolling lamp was great too, she just preferred the table top.
