Arrived in perfect shape and easy to put together in less than 10 minutes. Appears just like advertised. It’s perfect for the small space I have that needed a reading lamp. The touch onoff switch is pretty cool and I love the 3 levels of brightness, using the low level for ambience and the upper 2 for reading. I was concerned that it might be too tall for reading but it is not. Despite its minimal size, it is weighted so that it is quite stable. I’m very pleased with this purchase....just what I needed!
