The floor lamp is not as tall as I expected. It is also very lightweight, which causes me to wonder why the base is massive and heavy. We had intended this as a bedside table lamp, but the beam is narrow and the articulating arm so short, We’ll have to repurpose. The vertical shaft isn’t high enough for it to be a couch light or a lounge reading light. I will say, the aesthetics are elegant, but I’m just not sure they thought this one out very well. Should be taller and articulating arm longer. The light source itself should be bigger, with the ability to adjust the width of the light beam—from wide to narrow. This may become an extremely expensive and elegant garage work light.
