Bought two of these for my kids (10 and 12)  one is used as a night stand lamp and the other is used as a desk lamp.  They love the bright light and how it adjusts to warm and white light.  Dimable.  I am thinking of getting one near my bedside.  I think it will be better than my current lamp for reading bc it directs the light better. For the quality I think the price is very reasonable.  Would recommend it.
