Purchased lamp for Mom in assisted living for reading. Lamp looks very nice, with a lovely ivory white shade. 
However the base could be made a good deal more stable if it were a bit wider all the way around. Eldery folk are wobbly enough without having to worry about tipping their floor lamp over with a walker or an elbow! 
We finally managed to set the lamp just far enough in back of her big comfy chair to keep it out of harms way, but near enough that she can reach the arm of the light to adjust it as she needs to.
