I was looking for a modern floor lamp that provided enough light to read by. This lamp uses two 150 watt bulbs, each with it's own on/off pull-chain. The lamp came well packed in it's shipping box, and was easy to assemble from the instructions provided. It was easier to order, receive, and assemble the lamp than to find & buy those darn illusive 150 watt bulbs. Love the lamp. Just what I needed, and for a reasonable price too. Thanks Great Offer Stock.com. Very happy with my purchase.
