Classic reading lamp
I originally ordered this lamp to use in a kitchen next to a chair where I often sit to read.  A floor lamp and the light over the kitchen sink provide comfortable, general lighting without turning on the down lights over the cabinets, thereby saving electricity.  At the time I ordered it, I didn't think about the cover over the bulb which doesn't allow the light to spread vertically. The lamp made the room too dark. This is not a fault of the lamp but of my not thinking it through well enough. However, I've been wanting a good reading light next to a recliner in the living room.  This Verilux Heritage lamp is absolutely perfect there where it does what it is designed to do.  It provides great light with a classic look. I'd recommend it for anyone who wants a beautiful floor lamp for focusing on a task, such as reading, sewing, knitting, etc.
