This is a nice floor lamp with great features, but the remote does not work.  I bought the lamp to go in a corner behind a piece of furniture, so without a working remote, accessing all the features is impossible.  Unfortunate.  It's too bulky to re-box and return just due to a non-working remote, so very disappointed.  (tried multiple batteries in case there was a chance it was a bad battery causing the non-function--no dice).
