This stand lamp is a good size and shape and the floor switch is very nice too.  I wish it had both a hand and foot switch as often I can't get to the floor switch.  We have had it a couple months and I did notice yesterday the wrap on the shad is actually coming undone.  Apparently it was glued together at the seams.  I am going to try to repair because we do like the lamp and height.  It is perfect for reading at the end of a long sectional sofa.
