We purchased this for my son's room as he wanted a reading light up in his loft bed.  Sometimes it is difficult to pull into place and return.  Hopefully the joints will loosen a bit.  The shade area can become too hot too touch even though we have a lower wattage bulb and some of the seams around the shade are a little shoddy-wish they had been finished nicer.  Overall, we are happy with the purchase.
