very nice
I was looking for a lamp with a nice weight to the base and that is what I got. It does not move around at all. It adjusts up and down very easily and the extra electrical outlet is very handy. I am very pleased with this purchase.

handsome, but doesn't work
The bolt mechanism that is supposed to raise and lower the lamp DOESN'T work, no matter how carefully you tighten it. Beware!

Good (not great) desk lamp
A bit pricy and the joints are a bit loose out of the box. However they can be tighened with a screwdriver, so that is really no problem. May be able to get a better value at a big-box store.

For task lighting this lamp does its job well and works well with a CF bulb. The only other thing that I don't like is that the on-off switch is on the base instead of the lamp head. Some may prefer it this way, but I find it more accessible on the lamp head than on the base (harder to get to).

Sleek lamp
Very nice looking lamp. I like the additional plug in outlet attached. Does not occupy much desk space.

Great!
I need a desk lamp by the couch for reading. This lamp does the job excellently. It is very sturdy and takes 3 seconds to assemble it. For the price, it is a great deal and great value.
