    I have two a table model and a floor model. My floor model was tall and had a arm which adjusted up and down and side to side. The lamp was not but about 6months old and the arm broke. The store said to bad, I contacted ott and they replaced my lamp even tho I could not find the receipt. They mailed me a lamp of my choice in the same price range are I could have the same one. I chose a different lamp and I like it but not as well as the old model. The lights are awesome would not be able to see without them. The company stands behind thier products.

    I like mine. I can see well enough at night to sew black fabric at night with it.

    I have a table and a floor model. I LOVE them - I use the always. My floor model has the magnifier on it - while hand sewing or ripping a seam (not that any of you have ever had to do that) it has been invaluable. I also use them for beading.

    I have both a table model and a floor model. They are wonderful and have not had to replace bulbs. The light is easy on my eyes! I used coupons to buy them at deep discounts! LUV EM! :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I have a small table one, and am impressed with the amount of light it puts out. And there isn't a glare.

    I recently received a floor model as a gift. It came unassembled. All went well until we tried to insert the bulb ... it broke in our hand. So use caution when installing a bulb because it's very pricey to replace and very tricky to get into the socket properly. DON'T push on the end. (That's when those 40-percent-off-any-item coupons come in handy at JoAnn's or Michael's)

    I bought one of the larger table models about 4 years ago, it can be positioned high or low because it has a flex area in 2 places and I am still on the original bulb. I use mine all the time, and when I'm not using it, hubby steals it to do jigsaw puzzles with. I do a lot of fine applique work at night and I can position it so it does not interfere with DH while he watches TV. I bought a replacement bulb to have on hand when one of the LQS's went out of business and it was 70% off, wish they had more at the time but if they last this long, I have enough to last me a lifetime.
    BTW, I found that in a Big Lots store (Don't know if you have those where you are) they have lamps that are almost comparable at about 1/2 the price and they lave a bulb system like the Ott light. They run about $28-30.
