I bought this for my husband, he has been using a clip light added to our existing lamp to see when he reads but when I saw this lamp it was the ideal solution, when he saw the picture on the box he said he wouldn't like it but after he put it together he couldn't be happier, it is very well made is not to tall which he likes because he can pull it forward to read yet leave it back for T.V. Great lamp would recommend to anyone.
