Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm going with four stars for now, to be downgraded later if the quality turns out to be poor. For now, I'd say this is about what you'd expect for twenty or thirty bucks. I would have loved something like this for my big study desk when I was a college student.
I really like the versatility of this lamp. You can set the arm at a lot of different heights, and the housing that holds the bulb swivels up and down and around to just about any angle. The base is very heavy, so you don't have to worry about the lamp falling over. Just be sure to turn the knobs VERY tightly when you set the arm where you want it. Otherwise the whole thing collapses on itself.
Another nice feature is that the lamp swivels on its base, so you can turn it to wherever you need light without moving the whole lamp. You can also clamp the lamp to your table rather than using the base. The clamp is provided, but you have to mess with it to get it put together correctly. The way they put it together to ship it is not the way you'll use it.
I wish the cord were longer. The directions say you can use an extension cord, but I'm always wary when using a light fixture of indeterminate quality, cheaply made in China. I'm also not particularly fond of the on/off switch on the cord. It's more like a wheel than a switch, and doesn't seem like it will hold up well.
The lamp uses a 40 watt bulb. Right now I'm cautiously using a 60 watt bulb, but I don't recommend doing that over the long term, because it could be a fire hazard. I just haven't had a chance to buy any 40 watt bulbs yet.
Overall, a decent enough product for the price. I don't know yet about its longevity, but it does come with a one-year limited warranty. I'll report back if the whole thing falls apart on me or quits working.

I bought this lamp for my friend, he really loves it. It looks so professional. The interchangeable clamp on base works well with small table. Highly recommended
