Ordered this as we needed extra light and USB ports in a small sitting room. So far we are pleased with how this lamp has worked out. The black iron design is attractive and suits our modern farmhouse. It has enough weight not to slide, is the optimal height for reading at our glass table and offers 3 light settings at the touch of a finger easily illuminating a dark corner of the room. My one complaint is that the clear glass lamp offers no filter to the amount of light that comes through from the included Edison type bulb. I find the light on the two higher settings a bit harsh. No big deal and overall it's a great lamp.
