The quality of the materials, the silence and smoothness of the on/off mechanism and the lack of buzzing is unsurpassed. I have two new puppies that like to chase our two cats and the weight of the base has prevented the lamps from ever tipping over. I must admit that I have three other lighting fixtures by this company because I can trust in the quality and longevity. I have other high end lighting but none that please me as much. They are the best reading lamps out there.

Great quality,looks, ease to use. It is a wonderful lamp but a bit expensive.
