I love love LOVE this lamp! I've been looking for a floor lamp that had remote control abilities. I had recently rearranged my living room and noticed the corner which I used to keep my TV at was extremely dark... and, frankly, I didn't want to keep a light in the corner that I'd have to manually turn on and off. Call me lazy, but I just wanted something easy. This lamp is perfect! And it was so much more than I expected. The remote has a dimming feature which is really really nice when I bring my baby down to the living room if she can't sleep at night. The lamp shade is green but it looks blue which is a huge bonus. When I went through the color options I was hesitant about the green shade, but after seeing reviews I liked how it had a blue hue to it. I am glad I picked it... it POPS. The assembly was very easy and seamless. I cannot recommend this lamp enough.
