Had higher expectations
I purchased this item for my 95 year-old friend who has the start of macular degeneration.  I was happy with the amount of light that it produced and the look of the lamp, considering that it was going to reside in her living room.  I was not happy with the limited movement of the flex arm.  My friend cannot get the light down close enough to focus on what she is reading and, therefore, has to contend with the "glare" it makes.  It would be good if it came with 2 different sized posts: the one that it does come with, and a shorter post to accommodate for lower chairs.  I put the lamp together for her and, despite many attempts using various tools to assist me, I was not able to fully insert the flex arm into the post so that the screw holes would line up to secure the 2 parts together. There was no way that she could have put this lamp together on her own.<br />For the price, I feel that the functionalism and quality standard of this product is insufficient.
