My son came by and assembled this for me and I love it. The light isn't blinding or yellow it stays nice and white without a glare. I am older and wear eyeglasses so this was very important to me. I needed to contact Brightech and they were so helpful and explained how to use things so patiently. It is so easy to dim it. This is the best lamp I have ever bought and recommend it to everyone. I am never buying a torchiere again.
