It is a desk lamp, works, BUT, nowhere does it mention to remove the screws to make the lower portion of the articulated arms work, (a bolt and nut and a screw). Once removed it is apparent that the base is too light and if the light is moved beyond half the width of a keyboard, it will tip over. My desk is next to a window I leave open, the slightest breeze will blow the lamp over. The lamp itself looks good, seems to be well made, and the arms hold the lamp well except for the base. Going to drill a hole in my work desk and use that instead of the base.
