We did not expect to love this lamp as much as we do. It is super stylish, very sturdy and the shade is fully adjustable. It twists and turns and can point the light exactly where you need it. It stands perfectly straight. The foot peddle may be a little awkward to some, but we use this lamp with a phillips hue bulb and amazon alexa. The instructions dont say it so I will- when attaching the lamp to the base you will have to turn the big bracket to extend the length of the screw. Youll see what I mean when you get there. And again- we LOVE this lamp.
