For the money this is a really good lamp. I like the slim profile which makes it practically disappear. I did buy the one with the reading arm. I do wish that, 1) both lights dim more than they do, on dim they are still pretty bright, and 2) I'd like the color temperature to be a little warmer but getting used to it (note the photo makes it look warmer than it is). Even so, a great product for the price.
