About these lamps, I am happy to write a review. I have spent months looking for a pole lamp that would meet conditions for seniors. I needed a lamp that would give off enough light and had a reading light that the turn-on switch was not high on the pole. I also wanted a lamp that was weighted to place on the carpet and not over turn. Because everyone raved about the pet gate I purchased at Wayfair, I decided to view their pole lamps. I ordered two beautiful pole lamps that met more than my expectations. I was so pleased that I ordered three more of the same lamp for other areas in the house. Thank you Wayfair
