THIS LAMP GETS 98% - NEARLY PERFECT!!!

This lamp is actually even more beautiful up close than in the photos! It's actually not even completely black & bronze, it's more of a charcoal & bronze... quite stunning!! It's also high quality! Maybe something on it will POP OFF in a few months, but just on the initial plug-in & test, the movements are silky smooth, and the bronzed metal is so smooth that it actually feels "SOFT" - I know... weird! The biggest bonus for this lamp is - it comes with a heavy BASE... AS WELL as a table clamp - WOW!! I've never seen that before. TAKE NOTE - It (((DOES NOT))) come with a bulb, which was only a slight inconvenience. I was able to pop up to Home Depot and get one - they have HALF-AN AISLE fulla different bulbs to choose from, so I can understand why they didn't include one! There's SO MANY to choose from, that picking one out becomes almost a "Personal" decision - based on your individual likes & dislikes. I purchased the 60watt "CLEAR" LED bulb rather than the "WARM" one because I'll be working on projects in that room where it's at. When I turned it on.. WOW! 😮The light is SUPER-BRIGHT & CRISP (if that makes sense) - An EXCELLENT work lamp! I mean, I've had 3 or 4 of these adjustable-arm lamps over my life but they were ((NOT)) on this level!! There's only 2 things I would change on this lamp if I had my choices... 1). The switch is on the CORD, but I'd rather it was on - either the base - or the top of the lamp-head itself. I hate trying to find the friggin cord so I can turn a lamp off. 2). It would be cool if it had a built-in dimmer on the switch. I'd probably almost never use it anyway lol... But it would just be cool to have the option - since the bulbs it takes ARE "dimmable" Those are very minor nitpicks though, but other than that - I'm surprised how awesome this lamp really is. Just a 60w bulb turns that whole room into DAYLIGHT hours!! Yeah, I know... that's the bulb - not the lamp! But who wants to light up a room and look at an ugly lamp? lol... Top notch gear here!! 😉

Excellent, sturdy desk or drafting lamp

I am very happy with this desk lamp. I had a similar goose-neck desk lamp for many years and for some reason - perhaps metal fatigue - the connecting area where the lamp inserts into the base gave out. Anxious to find a replacement, I searched online only to discover that the US company that manufactured my original lamp no longer exists - but I found a very similar one here on Amazon. When it arrived, I immediately saw that it was a super cheap version of my lamp: the base was made of plastic and the connecting section was a bad fit so the lamp was wobbly. Disappointed, I returned it. Still hoping to find a desk lamp similar to the one I had, I came across this one. Though more expensive, I could tell immediately upon opening the box that this one was such finer quality. It has a wide (approx 8.5 inches), sturdy metal base. Open to where I need it to be, the top of the lamp stands about 20 inches above my work area. The lamp itself is all metal and feels very "substantial" - that it is well-made and will last a long time. The lamp fits tightly into the metal base so there is no "wobble." This is exactly what I was looking for. The only downside that some might find is that because the base and the lamp itself are larger than others, it might not fit easily on to a smaller desk. Though not an issue for me, you may want to take some measurements to make certain the area you are planning to put this has room for its wider base and higher neck. For me, this is perfect and I am very happy with my purchase.

Perfect for looking at things with more light

Yea, this lamp is pretty great. It's easy to adjust, the arm articulates smoothly. I like to keep it on my desk, and it's tall enough straight up to go above my 32" wide monitor. It tucks nicely out of the way. When I want to use it though I can swing it down above my desk and I have a great spot to read. It's really bright too, I only have a 25W equivalent bulb in it and it's perfect for reading. If you're someone who likes to look at things, and in the process of looking at things you need more light to be able to look at things you should buy this lamp. It's great for when you want to look at things but just need more light.

Solid quality and beautiful

Simple and beautiful - This no-frills lamp is priced right and good quality. It's a bit larger than I expected but it comes with a desk clamp in addition to a very sturdy weighted base but you want to make sure you secure it in addition to the smooth plastic surfaces that contact the desk - When I adjusted the rotation of the lamp stem, the clamp twisted right off the table. No biggie. I recommend it.
