This light looks nice, but there are drawbacks.  Firstly it is not very steady even though, as the instructions say, we were careful to ensure the flex is flatly secured underneath the stand,  Secondly it just doesn't seem to be truly perpendicular and lastly the white shade has nothing to hold it secure once it is put in place.  That being the case if it is touched or knocked it looks wonky.  With that in mind we have had to place the light in a tight corner where the children are unlikely to be in contact with it.  Not an ideal situation!
