My husband likes this more than I do. We might have to try different bulbs because the dimmer feature does not work as well as similar ones we have had. It is finicky and when you turn it down the bulbs go out at a quarter turn before the off-position. We like that you can pivot each light to shine on the ceiling or floor, what ever direction you want for different effects. The base is good and sturdy and tucks under the couch if you want to put it in the corner of a room behind a sectional. It took some time for the two of us to put together but it wasn't difficult.
