I am so very pleased with this lamp! It's just what I need when reading/writing/knitting.  Currently, it sits behind my loveseat, so the lovely bottom portion isn't on display, but perhaps one day...  

The lamp is also adjustable, which is handy when someone else is occupying the other side of the loveseat; and it also accepts a 25W decorative bulb, which I need because of light-sensitive eyes.  

Highly recommend.
