Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read about this lamp and thought it was such a great item to have in my room, but after setting it up, I soon regretted purchasing it. The most glaring offense, pardon the pun, is the bulb arrangement, which are NOT recessed into the bulb housing like my $15 IKEA desk lamp utilizes (you know, the cheap-o $15 desk lamp that heats up like a frying pan?). The non-recessed bulbs are painful to be near, because you are forced to directly look at them, and the non-swiveling bulb housing does not offer any solutions. There is no way, unfortunately, to direct light at the object I need illuminated without having a giant bulb-housing arm in my way, or without having the bulbs in my direct line of sight. I am forced to return this lamp, which is a very fine idea theoretically, fails spectacularly when put to use. tl,dr: bulbs are placed on periphery of housing, forcing the user to look directly at them. bulbs should be recessed into bulb-housing. very stupid design flaw.
