I absolutely love my lamp. Perfect for my grand piano and my aging eyes needing more and more light. The lamp base is beautiful and being able to adjust the height and direction of the light is wonderful. I would have given this 5 stars except for one little slip up; the lamp was advertised as being shipped with a bulb, but alas, no bulb was with mine! Consequently, l had to wait a couple of days before I could actually use my new lamp...until I could find the right type of bulb to fit... not an easy job in our small town! Overall, though, I love my new piano lamp!
