We bought this to go in our playroom/spare bedroom.  Since the kids will be in there, this lamp is perfect because it can’t be knocked over like a table lamp or traditional floor lamp.  It gives off pretty decent light (no overhead light in this room).  I love the foot pedal, which makes it convenient to turn on.  I also like the USB plug in the table, but I’m taking away 1 star because when you turn the light off, the USB port turns off as well.  What’s the point if you can’t have your guests charge their phones overnight?
