I now have two of these lamps, in two corners of my living room. They are great for adding a lot of light to the room, which has high ceilings and dark brick walls. Love the modern, sleek design that doesn't take up too much floor space. Foot clicker switch works well. I can see why some people had problems with assembly, you have to screw the metal poles together (each comes in 3 parts) around the wires - this must be done very gently or the poles could get a little lopsided.
