Expensive for what it is, but well built.
If you have any basic skills you can make this product yourself, significantly cheaper, by making a quick trip to Home Depot. With that said, this was assembled well and selling on Amazon is, well, expensive - hence the mark-up. The product worked as advertised and, due to the basic nature of the product and decent assembly, I wouldn't anticipate having any issues with it for a long time.<br /><br />BTW - this makes an excellent reading light next to a bed, etc. as the soft white/yellow glow of the bulb is much easier on the eyes.
