Normande Desk Lamp, Brushed Steel

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.

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

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).

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

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.
