Love my new lamp, the amount of light from a 100W bulb in the white shade is more than sufficient for reading.  The height it also perfect for our family room that has 10 foot ceilings.  It was not difficult to put the lamp together but is easier with two people.  Be aware that the lamp is shipped in two packages, so we were a little confused when we received only the base and shade the first day, but then received the arm the next.

Pros: Great value, adds a modern feeling and bright light to our family room.
