I've been using this floor lamp in my home office for over a month now so I've had time to get used to its controls, the remote and generally the adequacy of its brightness. Overall I am happy with the lamp. The remote is nice because it is magnetic so I can "stick" it to a filing cabinet near my desk or a desk leg. I almost always use the remote now and find it very convenient. The switch on the lamp, and the buttons on the remote, are all easy to use, don't require excessive pressure to activate but also aren't so sensitive that they are too easy to change - they are about perfect in terms of ergonomic use.
The lamp feels well built and sturdy, though it is minimalist in design and intentionally very thin. I happen to like that look, though not everyone will. At first, I was afraid it would be easily knocked over, but after a month or so, it seems well balanced and no easier to knock over than an older more traditional looking, though also stainless, lamp it replaced. I like the minimalist design that consumes less space in the room. It will bring out your inner Scandinavian!
The three lamp color options are nice, but I always use the middle color temp setting so there's not much need to be able to change the temp. The tilting lamp head is nice, but since it can't be pointed downward to get more light on a work surface, there's really not much point in it. Ours is pointed straight up like a standard floor lamp would be and we've never moved it from there. There's nothing wrong with having features you don't use, but for the same price, I would have preferred they eliminate the color temp choice and tilting, and put more money into a brighter bulb - see below.
The only shortcoming of the lamp is that it is not very bright. Anything other than the brightest setting wouldn't be useful for much more than as a night light or perhaps mood lighting in a larger room. At the brightest setting it gives off an adequate amount of light for most office uses, but just barely. Another 10-20W of light would be much nicer. I would prefer an LED lamp that would have enough light for reading or working in a home office at 70-80% maximum brightness, so there would be a little headroom for those task, or older eyes, when they needed just a little more light.
Overall, I recommend this lamp. Some people with like the more incandescent lamp color or the harsher cold lamp color, and some may want the ability to tilt the head a bit, and be very satisfied with the overall brightness.
