We like the overall design of the lamp. It is a great light for reading, even with only one side turned on. It’s a little bit lopsided on our carpeting, but sits straighter on a hard surface. But all-in-all, we are pleased we it. The lamp didn’t come with any lightbulbs, so have some on hand. We are using one 100 watt bulb  one 60 watt bulb, only using the lower wattage for when we watch tv.
