I bought this lamp because I have other Ott Lite products. While it is a good lamp that meets my immediate needs, it is not as nice as some of my others. Assembly was a little more difficult but not hard. The lamp has a solid base but it leans and I can't get it to straighten. While it is adjustable, I find that the light (top part of the lamp) doesn't hold its position all the time. As I said, I do for the most part like the lamp and it is meeting my needs.
I love every feature on this lamp; it’s sleek and unobtrusive, easy to use, and most importantly gives me perfect lighting to cross stitch on 40 count linen. Extremely pleased!
This is my 2nd Ott light. I fine both of them very good. I am a knitter and my age requires good lightening to see what I am doing. They meet my needs!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my first floor lamp. There are several things that need to be addressed. I was attracted to this lamp because the description says "Adjustable: Adjust the height from 49" to 71" to suit your spatial needs." Sounds like you can adjust the pole height. That needs to be explained better - they are talking about how far down or up you can flex the gooseneck assembly so that your lamp is either 49" flexed down or 71" straight up. Next, I agree with another reviewer that the pole does not sit straight in the base. I ended up laying the pole flat on another surface and then holding the base with one hand perpendicular to the pole and attaching the bolt with the other hand. My last issue is with the on/off/dimmer switch. It is too sensitive between on, off and dimming. I would have preferred touching some part of either the top pole or the shade or, better yet, a separate switch.
Light output great, however don't like the on off switch or the fact the connection moves too easily. This causes the head of the light to almost fall off when trying to adjust direction of light.
