I bought this lamp and loved the overall look, slim design, and touch sensor so much that I purchased a second. Sadly, however, the touch sensor on both lamps died about 8 months after purchasing them. The lamps are now permanently on. I have them hooked up to a Belkin Conserve Surge Protector that has a remote switch, so I can easily turn them on and off. But, since the sensor no longer works, there is no three-way lighting function. I cannot recommend this lamp.
