Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a teacher, I've owned so many of these lamps, but this is the only one that has fully met my expectations. I gave my last lamp low stars, but this one is five stars strong. Here are pros and cons. PROS: 1) It's sturdy with a weighty base and does not topple over, even when I set it on my mattress to mark papers at night or read books. 2) The light itself is strong and focused enough for clear reading but pleasant and soft enough to warmly diffuse in the room and not wake people up or wear your eyes down. Great balance. 3) The light "switch" is easy to tap in the dark (you don't have to press a small button).) 4) The two light settings are perfect--a warm light and a cool light with just the right intensity. 5) The neck is sturdy but very flexible. 6) LOVE the pen holder. 7) The extra USB port is nice for charging your phone, and the phone stand is great for streaming content as you're falling asleep while it charges. CONS I thought somehow the lamp had a built-in wireless phone charger, but it only charges if it's plugged in to the USB port. No biggie, my misunderstanding, but that would be cool. Overall, LOVE THIS LAMP AND THE PRICE!
