Okay for tasks
I bought this lamp to knit by when my husband is watching television.  It works for that task. However, the bulb blew after about 10 hours of use. So much for that 10,000 hour bulb. Plus, it looks like the alien from the original War of the Worlds movie. The only thing it's missing is that huge eye! I plan to put it in the basement and buy a better looking lamp for my living room.
