I have 4, no, 5 Ott lights. All shapes and sizes. I have had no trouble with any of them and some I have had for years. The one thing I would recommend about the floor models--Be sure you get one with enough weight on the bottom. I heard that there was one or two models that didn't weigh enough and they were prone to falling over around children and such and broke the pretty glass shades. These are the fancier ones I am talking about. I think my nice one for the LR is the Charleston and it's really nice.

JoAnns, has a really pretty floor lamp with an adjustable lamp. It is made out of bamboo. It was less than $100 and with coupon, I paid under $70. I love it. I bought it about 6 months ago.

I bought my ott light at Big Lots. I have two a desk model and a floor model. I love them both. I think I paid less at Big Lots than what they are at JOANN'S on sale. If you have one close you might want to check it out.

I have 2 of the flexible neck ott light floor lamps. The one in the sewing room the plastic on the flex cover on the flex broke, but I still couldn't do without it or at least something comparable.

I had the Ott lamp with the floor base and the magnifier on the "stem". We loved the light from my lamp, but the base was not heavy enough, I had to "anchor" the base under the end of the couch so it would not fall. It fell anyway, and everything broke - shade, light, etc. It lasted almost 2 years. BTW - it arrived with part of the shade broken, my dh taped it together so I could use it.

I now use the "daylight" bulbs in my sewing room in all lamps. It seems to me the light is comparable.

I haven't replaced my lamp because I am satisfied with the light from the daylight bulbs from Lowe's.

The inexpensive model from Menards gives great light and true colors, and the base is good and heavy. No tipping problems.

Hobby lobby also carries a couple of lines of nice lamps..and you can frequently get a good discount coupon on line.

I have the desk Ott Lamp because I can put it anywhere I need it. It's a must have for me when sewing at night. I have had it for 10 years now and still using the same bulb. I bought a replacement bulb when I bought the lamp. I'm glad I did, the price has tripled on the replacement bulb. My lamp seems much sturdier and heavier then the new ones out now. Why can't a good thing be left alone?

I have the Ott Lite floor lamp. I agree with the other poster who said that the base should be heavier, I've found it somewhat "tipsy" as well. But, I'm not complaining~~~ I found mine at Goodwill for $7.99! They didn't know what they had on their hands!!!

This is the lamp I got at JoAnns. It is nice the base is small but heavy and the lamp does not take up much space. I can keep it beside my chair or move it over by my machine. I love it. Mine was a dark bamboo. but same lamp. http://www.joanns.com/joann/catalog/...DID=xprd120223
