I bought this lamp for my elderly mother to use as a reading lamp beside her lift chair.  I was able to attach it to a magazine holder to the right of her chair.  This thing is so light weight and adjustable it allows you to put the light right where you want it.  I used a 60watt led bulb in it and it is plenty bright enough for reading and crafts.  I seems very well made for the price.  Mom is very happy with it.
