I'm glad I ordered two because one would not provide the amount of daytime ambient light I was looking for on a glooming winter day. Haven't used the remotes yet because need to figure out the batteries. It's a bit of a pain to get the many settings on the two lamps to be the same. Assembly was easy, the lamps are sturdy and look nice, and the end of the room where they are placed does look more inviting.  Maybe due to higher 9ft ceilings and amount of wood trim in the space, but still, two lamps  placed on either side of the fireplace do not provide enough light for a  "daylight" effect. The light is bright but doesn't extend far across the room. There's no problem with the lamps themselves. The issue is understanding how light works.
