This floor lamp was easy to put together and has more functions than I had expected. There is a foot control in addition to a magnetized remote control so you can turn it on while next to the lamp or from across the room. The control has several functions to allow for dimming or brightness. The only drawback I found was that the LED bulb that was included was not as bright as I would like to light up this small bedroom. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
