I bought this light because I wanted to replace an older, larger floor lamp. I am so happy with it! I love that there is no lamp shade. I really like that it comes with a remote control so I can change the brightness of the light. The remote also allows you to make the light warmer or cooler. The remote is magnetic, so you can stick it onto the lamp and avoid misplacing it. It shipped very quickly and was very easy to assemble. Overall, really happy with this floor lamp!
