Im using two as nightstand lamps. Great for the minimalist style. The lamp has a matte roughness to it. The light output is directed downward and is not adjustable. It is not sufficient to light the entire room, but it is perfect for a bedside or desk. The button is touch sensitive and offers no feedback. When the light is not on, the button has a fairly bright blue light which cannot be disabled and may be troublesome for some. Overall, Im satisfied.
