After a great deal of research on floor lamps, I am so happy with our recent purchase of The Abbyson Living Turnwood Ivory Floor Lamp. We were concerned about a floor lamp in our family room because we have two daughters, 6 & 3. This lamp is VERY sturdy, and it arrived in wonderful packaging! We are most happy with the amount of light the lamp adds to our Family Room! Not only is it a great addition to reading nightly stories on our couch, but it is bright enough to add light to our entire room. This lamp is a great find! Thank you Overstock!
