Needed a versatile task light for the office that didn’t take up precious desk space, and this floor lamp is perfect. The lamp height and shade angle are both adjustable. Used a 60 watt mini CFL bulb which provides plenty of light (without eye glare), and keeps the lamp cool to the touch. The base is sufficiently weighted to provide stability, even on dense carpet, and the switch is a floor button on the cord at the base of the lamp. The “dark bronze” color is more of a dark grey, which actually worked well in my room. It was super easy to assemble in just a few minutes, and shipping was very fast.
