We love this lamp! We had a rather dark corner in our living room where my husband tends to sit and read. We had an old lamp there  that he was using but it wasn't a great solution. I suggested looking for a floor lamp at Wayfair and found this one! Not only was it very easy to assemble (I did it myself!) but the multiple levels of light, controlled by a remote control, make this the perfect solution for reading or just having some extra light on in that once-dim corner. It needs no tools to assemble, and it comes with the correct light bulb and batteries for the remote! It's sturdy and it looks great! Would I recommend this lamp? You bet I would!
