I bought this lamp because it had all the features I was looking for...HOWEVER...the quality is very flimsy and poorly constructed. For $166 I expected something more sturdy, but it is what it is.I have this in my nursery next to the glider. I love the dimmer lighting, the reading light, and the shelf. Although I am not too sure the shelf can handle much more than a glass of water. I have it standing on carpet and decided to use a wire wall mounting bracket to make sure the lamp does not tip over. If it was placed on a hard surface, maybe the leaning/swaying wouldn't be as bad.Next time I will read the reviews...as I am now noting that others have experienced the poor quality.
