Pros & Cons
Pros
The ottlite magnifier has a built-in light. The light is bright and the magnification is awesome! Do use caution when adjusting the magnifier. After having cataract surgery, the brightness of this lamp helps me to see what i am working on.
The lighting is good. My other ott light is 20+ years old!
There's no chance of this thing topping over! It's a tad heavy but has been a huge assist to me! Very sturdy lamp.
The champagne finish is attractive, though with its three octopus arms, i cannot go as far as to call it stylish. It feels nice to the touch, it doesn't collect dust or gunk (like goosenecks) thank you for honoring your warranty as it renews my trust ... Read More

Price
Best money i have spent in ages.

Packaging/appearance
I also saved the box to repack it safely in case of a move if ever necessary.
*the packaging was overly secure - i am not complaining; but it took me over 15 minutes just to open box;*very easy to assemble... Read More
Competitiveness
Therefore i can once again recommend ottlite products, especially to crafters and hobbyists.
Ottlite basically claimed it was user error, and therefore wouldn’t honor their warranty.
My advice is to consider competitors, which may in the end, be a better bargain.

I keep mine on the floor stand but it’s nice to have the other two alternatives… stand it on a table or clip it to the edge of a table
