It's very flimsy, but several I have seen or tried in this price category were also flimsy. I could deal with that except for the fact that the kit includes old-tech T-12 bulbs instead of the newer, brighter T5 bulbs. The lights are not as bright. Also, one of the bulbs flickered and no amount of tinkering would stop it. Then, the bulb went completely dark. A few days later, it came on again. The ends of the bulbs are dark and so you don't get good light for the entire lengths of the bulbs. I would have rated this 4 stars if it included the better T5 bulbs. I don't remember seeing the type of bulb in the description. If it was there, then it's my fault for buying it in the first place!

I wanted to purchase a tabletop grow light this year. In the past, I have started seeds indoors using only the light from a southern exposure window. The seedlings were a bit leggy. This year, under the grow light, the seedlings are thriving. After an internet and catalog search, this product is offered on Amazon at the very best price.

The first fixture I received was DOA. I switched the bulbs and starters. I even opened it up to make sure all the wires were connected it just would not work. What irritated me was that the instruction sheet reads: "All fixtures are tested prior to shipping." They do not give a phone number or email address to contact if you have any problems. I got an RMA from Amazon and they sent a replacement which is working well. Tip: The carton is sealed with heavy-duty staples. You can easily rip the carton trying to open it. Be careful and remove the staples with pliers, just in case you have to return it.

... but not as good as the one I bought from Park's in 1991 or 1992, which lasted about 20 years. This one is also not as elegant as the old one, nor as stable. The word that came to my mind after I had assembled it was "rickety." I doubt that it will last 20 years but, then, I probably won't either. So, for people like me (no children and no cats or other pets) it serves its purpose. I am using it to display houseplants. It comes with two Sylvania T12 Gro-Lux tubes. It has an on/off switch so that you don't have to unplug it when you want it off. Also, it is silent; I mention this because I have a jump-start lamp (bought three or four years ago) that I use for tomato seedlings, in a spare room, and that one has a constant hum. This one does not.
