I bought this for my home office - I have a comfy chair for reading and my small table did not provide enough surface area (lamp took up too much room), I tried a floor lamp but it was just too much 'stuff' in a small area. This is perfect. The lamp is unobtrusive and takes up almost zero table top space, the small drawer is great for notecards and pens. The lamp shade was cheap looking and dented so I replaced it with a good quality shade and it upgraded the entire assembly.
  

Pros: easy assembly works well.
Cons: lamp shade is tacky
