Is this lamp worth the high price? Is it well made and durable?

I have had this lamp for 7 months and it works well, only flaw was the rotary switch's plastic housing, which cracked and I had to replace it. The housing is a cheaply made piece even when you buy a replacement part at a home improvement store, they only carry one "brand", so there does not seem to be any other choice.

It is worth the money. Very sturdy and flexible. Have owned a few "goose neck" lamps but this is the best. Make sure you get the right bulb to suit your vision needs. Glad to help....Pete W.

Yes, I like it very much. I use it at my work table. It is well made and a very sturdy base.

It's made well enough for a floor lamp. The base is heavy enough that it doesn't fall over even if the gooseneck is at a 90 degree angle. As for value, it takes any lightbulb with a standard socket. So I was a little bummed when I got it. If you are looking for a "daylight" lamp to help with SAD symptoms, you could save a LOT of $$$ just buying the lightbulb and screwing it into any old fixture.

Purchased one lamp months ago. I use it next to the night stand instead of table lamp because I love to read at night. Really like the lamp. Decided to get another lamp for the other side of the bed and put the table lamps that were there elsewhere. I believe they are worth the price. The ones that are less expensive are not made well. I do not think these are expensive. There are ones that are so much more expensive and they are probably better but for the money these are great. You get what you pay for.

I would say yes this lamp is worth the price. Its been only a couple of months sine I bought it but so far I had no problems. My friend commented on the quality of light of this lamp without me even telling her that that's why I bought it. Everything else about it is metal/steel its very portable and not heavy. I just wish it would have been a little taller but that is not a big problem.

I love the lamp and now own 2. While it is smaller than some lamps it gives lots of great quality light. I really like that you can unplug it and use it any place.

yes, very good quality. We poured a concrete pad to bolt the lamp to, as it is very tall and could blow over easily in wind.

In my opinion, no. Not for any length of time anyway. It's a very nice lamp, but more of an accent lamp.

I live in Vermont and my previous lamps lasted about five winters. They were replaced mostly because of damage from heavy ice and snow sliding off the house roof. Some of them were still intact but for the cost I replaced them all. They are quite sturdy but are not made of metal!

I have never had a problem and I use several different sized books including an extremely oversized one so this lamp has been in several different positions. I love this lamp and it was exactly what I had been looking for at a fraction if the cost of many others I had looked at

Responses always appreciated. Since you were obligated to buy this as per the high wattage lamp, would you say you, at least, got your money's worth?

the lamp is made in a way that it is impossible or hard to replace the bulb, basically you take manufacturers promise that it will last for years, when eventually it dies i guess u have to buy another flex neck lamp...

I believe that's true. But, these lamps don't burn out like incandescents - no filaments to break - they go on for a decade or more. Everything considered, I think it's still financially advantageous.

I've had mine two years. Ovevthe past 6 months, I've taken to leaving it on all day (on the weekends when I'm home). I use it like a regular lamp. No problems.May not want to use it as a reading lamp during the evening in the case it keeps one awake.

I have purchased 2 of these lamps. The first one is now about 7 years old and stiil works great. I saw the same model on sale last fall and purchased a second one. I rate this purchase at 5 stars! It works great; no problems! Standard plug, good light, and it has remedied my S.A.D. side affects.

I bought the lamp and my liked it. WE sometimes kept it on over night as a nightlight, and we have used the scented oil and it worked well with the lower setting. the high setting heats up the oil too quick. WE have not needed to replace the bulb, but it's a regular halogen bulb, I don't see a problem finding one to replace it.

I bought this lamp several months ago and I absolutely love it!! Crystals are very secure.

That's the beauty of quality- and a great suspension system- I regularly do close work for hour and hours at a time and I have NEVER had this lamp flop onto my work surface- this is an all metal lamp with strong reliable suspension- hence the price- well worth the investment- I love it and use it daily!

Lots a good points about this light. It was bought to use as a reading light over a recliner, it works very well with an LED bulb providing downward light only, but note the metal shield over bulb does heat up. Pull chain turns it on or off. The light is stable on its base, u don't worry it will fall over. It's nicely made and looks expensive. It would work for elderly parents, but there are other versions made with plastic that I have seen my elderly parents use that seem safer. Less metal edges, more maneuverability of the light and don't get hot. Also, the ones they have made with plastic provide full spectrum light. Lots a good points about this light.

The lamp is well-made and the base and the pole are sturdy. I believe that if someone lost their balance the lamp would hold up.

It is bright enough, but I should add always turn on the floor lamp which is nearby and I always open the blinds. I don't mean to discourage. I love this lamp and would definitely buy this one again. I should also say that I haven't needed to change the bulbs even though I've had this lamp for 3 years and use it daily. I would never think of replacing this with another.
