Arched floor lamps can be expensive and do not provide good reading light...this light was not only extremely easy to assemble, but provides outstanding reading light.  The double shade provides a stream of light directly over the back of my recliner to my lap.  Great for reading, laptop work

Pros: fits in any corner, is not too heavy, but substansial, great light focusing
Cons: no cons.  i did purchase this product at clearance pricing. not sure i would pay full price.
