It's a pretty cool lamp! Can be very bright (good for my crafting space) or dimmed to pretty low (good for mood lighting). I don't love that the switch is so close (about a foot) to the base of the lamp since I have the base tucked in a corner where the switch is hard to reach, and am using a separate remote control switch at the outlet - but still have to access the built-in switch if I want to adjust the brightness.

One downside is that I had to do some finagling to get it to go together - the base has two holes in it for alignment and attachment of the first part of the lamp, and the set screw already installed in the lamp did NOT align with the hole in the base. I had to mess around quite a bit to get it work, and while the lamp is stable, there is definitely some sketchy stuff going on at the base connection where that set screw is jammed in a funky angle.

Overall, I like that it's bright, I like that it's tall, and I like that it's out of the way.
