This lamp has made us so happy. The weighted base is nice and sturdy. We use it for quilting, knitting and crafting. It is very flexible and allows a lot of variables on the LED. The 6 wheels keep it very steady so it doesn t tip. I also use the magnification when I solder ornaments or thread my needles. We had researched and looked around extensively before my wife and I decided on this one. We are both so happy with our choice.
