I really like this lamp. I wasn't sure about the look of it initially but it's very simple and sleek. I love the remote it's small and simple and enjoy how easy it is to jump between the warm light, cooler light and more natural light. The ability to turn on and off from a distance and control the brightness. Sometimes you want soft and moody, sometimes you want bright and focused and this lamp is great for that! Easy to put together, just like any other torch lamp. Remote is great if your lamp is tucked away in a corner like mine. No more reaching to turn it on and off. I do wish there was a bit of a cone or lip so when tilted you aren't looking directly at the light.
