My children joke about this lamp after my husband told them that it was "hundreds of dollars." You won't laugh at this though. It is high quality, child proof, knock-over proof (so far), and makes a great reading lamp. This is also recommended to treat seasonal depression for the winter blues in gloomy weather. The only downfall is that you can't count on this to light up a room. There is actually kind of a haze created above the lamp. No problem when sitting under it.

The light is very pleasing and a nice feature is the adjustability of the light intensity -- 3 settings. The lamp is larger than I expected but works on my desk. The adjustment arms not easy to change -- have to stand up and do it because easier to manage. The light itself easily tilted to side. Working well for me.

Perfect for what I wanted. Elegant looking and makes it much easier to read in the evening. Fast delivery too.

I am very disappointed by this lamp, especially because I was guided by the reviews posted by other customers. I bought it to use as a bedside table reading lamp. First, it is not beautiful or elegant in any way to my eye, but very utilitarian in appearance. Secondly, despite the anti-glare filter, the light is very harsh. Third, although it has three levels of intensity, all are too bright. Fourth, it does not "telescope" as advertised, but merely rotates on the hub. Fifth, it is not as well-constructed as I had hoped. The lamp rotates at the central hub and at the base of the light, and both screw-like connectors tend to slip and look like they will wear out. For the price, I expected something better made, better looking, and not as glary.

It probably works better as a desk lamp. I will have to return it.

I've had this lamp for just about 2 years now and it was a good purchase. No problems whatsoever, dependable, the light tone is nice, aestheticly pleasing, high quality.

whatever you do, don't buy from the Verilux outlet. The customer service is horrible. Very, very rude woman will made various snide comments and tell you there's nothing they can do if the lamp is defective. Mine was half price but it is NOT adjustable. Very hard to turn the handle and then it falls apart if I barely touch it. Since it's quite heavy, this is a big problem. Also, you're not supposed to touch the shade over the light bulb so when it falls....

If you want an attractive well made desk lamp with white light this is the lamp is for you. I do lots of needlework and needed a bright light. Not only does this lamp provide enough light, it has a Cover over the bulbs so the light doesn't pierce your eyes. The bronze is very attractive and the lamp has some weight to it so you don't have to worry about knocking it over. It also has a three way light switch on the base (very convenient). However, the highest level of light is the one I use to do my cross stitch, crocheting. It is also an excellent reading lamp.
