Decent for an office
Last year, I worked in a small office without windows.  It was nearly driving me nuts not having any sunlight entering the office.  As a result, I disabled the florescent bulbs in the ceiling and hunted for an affordable light that would simulate sunshine.  This one was on a lightning special (yet pricier than I think it's worth based upon how it is built) and was a suitable option.<br /><br />I purchased this lamp in January, 2009 and it is so-so.  I had placed it in my office near my desk and it did help brighten up my workspace as well as assist me in feeling more energized.  I have since changed roles and left that office, so I moved the lamp to my home.  I don't use the lamp as often as I did when I had it in the office because the light it produces is harsh and bold.  For my home, I'd rather have a warmer feel.<br /><br />The lamp is very lightweight and seems to be inexpensively manufactured (it is plastic).  Due to it being so light, it has been knocked over a few times.  Nearly each time it is knocked over, the white plastic shade pops off.<br /><br />Overall, this lamp is decent.  It does what it says it does and works just fine.  Its not my favorite lamp for my house, but for an office I find it to be fine.
