After trying the first Sky floor lamp I ended up buying two more!  Fabulous design and perfectly bright.  The tilting head works well for bouncing the light off  the wall instead of just being directed upwards. The base is heavy enough for good stability, the pole thin enough to almost disappear from my line of sight and the switch works with a slight tough.  I could not be happier with these purchases.  And I must mention the really wonderful customer service!  I called Customer Service and spoke with Bree who answered all of my questions and concerns and she is the reason I purchased the first lamp to try.
