This is something a bit different to the usual mother and child lamp. I got this for my partner and we are both pleased with the design.  It was easy to assemble and the quality is good, not excellent - there are one or two rough edges on the top light housing - but overall solid and it was easy to assemble.  I found it disappointing that bulbs were not included as they have been with other floor lamps I have purchased in the past, and I didn't notice in the spec that this was the case so had to rush out and get some before being able to use it.  Hoping it gives similar long service to the one it has replaced.
