This is a great floor lamp especially for the price. It's great to read by with the 2 40w bulbs without being blinding. Assembly was very easy. The trick to the bumbs is this. Buy warm white 40w LED with an E26 base and bulb size A15. That's the key. All the reviews complaining about the bulbs being visible below the shade are cramming in normal size bulbs. I don't know how they're fitting them in because the lamp would rub against a normal size bulb. Again, bulb size A15. They are easy to find online. The bottom of the bulb doesn't hang below the shade. See photo.
