I purchased this lamp for my bedroom as a reading lamp.   I didn't like that I could see the bulb while in bed reading.  It bothered my senior eyes.   It also just didn't look attractive in my bedroom.  It looked skinny and scrawny.  There's nothing wrong with the lamp itself.  I liked it so much that I simply moved it into my home office and it's doing a great job lighting up my desk area.   A perfect office lamp!   Would also probably look nice besides a chair.

Now that I’ve been using this lamp in my office for about a month, I’d like to change my review to 5 stars.  I absolutely don’t know how I managed to function in my office without it.  I especially love the floor step on switch.  I sit down.  I hit the switch.  My entire desk is illuminated,
