THE HEIGHT WAS PERFECT FOR WHAT WE WANTED AND THE FACT THAT IT HAS TWO STEP LIGHTING CAPABILITY WAS A PLUS!  YOU CAN HAVE A LOW LIGHT OR A NORMAL ROOM LIGHT WITH THIS LAMP!!  LOVED THE TAPERED BASE AS WELL.  LOOKING FORWARD TO USING THIS LAMP FOR YEARS TO COME!!

Pros: EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND GREAT VALUE
Cons: WISH THE LAMP HAD  A SECOND LIGHT TO PULL DOWN TO READ WITH, BUT LOVE IT ANYWAY!!
