We were looking for a well designed, sturdy --and affordable -- floor lamp to provide some flexible lighting options. This meets our expectations, very nice to have a good lighting source for living room reading. With the arc, size is larger than I envisioned, but it works. The shade had minor damage from packaging, discoloration in spots along a pressure point. 

Pros: Sturdy, simple design within our price range. Good source of light
Cons: On/off button is several inches (maybe up to 2 feet) from base along the cord for floor access. Can be hard to find if you don't know where to look. Shade had some damage from packagin. .
