I bought this lamp for my daughter who moved into her own apt.   The lamp is just over 5 feet tall {which is not a height issue for her} it gave off pretty good light, but my husband got her 2 led bulbs and the light is so much brighter.  i guess we buy a floor lamp for the light, so it does need brighter bulbs.  It is very sleek which is good if you have a narrow place to store it.  i also love that it turns off with a foot switch which i love.  very convent. if you're thinking about this lamp, get it.  you will love it.

Pros:  slim, foot swith-on and off 
Cons: not more than 5 feet tall.  you will need to get brighter bulbs
