I needed a lamp that could provide better lighting for my bedroom, and great lighting to allow me to read easily.  This lamp absolutely fit the bill!  The instructions said  it would take five minutes to put together.  It took me 10 because I had a little difficulty pulling the lamp cord through the base.  EASY!
Even better, it looks really good on my nightstand, and I can read without squinting.

Pros: Breeze to put together, looks exactly as pictured, securely packaged.  Great buy!
Cons: None
