Nice lamp for small spaces
I like this light, I'll admit that.  It provides just the right about of light over my shoulder on the couch to read my Kindle in otherwise low light.  It's stylish and once put together is relatively stable, even though there are only two screws in the whole assembly.  That is thanks to a wide base (which easily slips under the couch out of the way.<br /><br />A few things to consider.  This lamp has to be assembled.  While I did it alone, I really could have used a second pair of hands.  Fitting the head assembly into the shaft was challenging, but getting that top-heavy assembly into the base was extremely difficult.  I got it done after putting the head on a pillow, sitting on the floor and doing the whole thing sideways.  But once together, it works fine.<br /><br />As for light output, I'd compare this to a table lamp.  Not quite enough to illuminate an entire room, but more than enough to read, do crafts or other activity nearby.  Artificial sun qualities for those that suffer from SAD - I can't speak for that as I'm no expert on that disorder, nor do I suffer from it.<br /><br />All in all, a good lamp, not great, but good.  If it fits your decor, you're good to go.  If not, you might want to look at other offerings.
