We like this lamp because it has a swivel out arm which is great for mum when she is having dinner or reading as it extends out to illuminate her.  We liked the choice of colours and chose one similar to her new curtains we recently purchased.  Initially I was a bit unsure whether to buy a lamp on line because we had previously purchased lamps from a major well known DIY store and had to return it 3 times after discovering they didn't work and after spending time putting them together. My worry was that I might have to return this one.  Fortunately we had no issues with it and it worked! It is also well made. The only downside was having to put the shade together which was a bit fiddly so 4 out of 5 and some packaging was a bit dented. Overall - good.
