This lamp is easy to assemble and well-packaged.  It has a large arc which is great if you need to use it in a larger space (for example, over 2 sofas).   My biggest issue is that there is no diffuser (or "baffle") at the bottom of the shade, meaning the bulb is exposed and can be too bright when over your head.  

Pros: Inexpensive, wide reach
Cons: No light diffuser at bottom of shade
