Doesn't Even Work!! 
2008-08-29
Huge box, unpack, assemble, plug in,
NOTHING! It doesn't even turn ON!
Now I have to pack, haul, and ship back.
I hate when this happens. A lot of hassle
for nothing. I am going to go and buy locally.
I ordered 2 extra bulbs. Now I have to mail them back too
to a different address.

Grandrich EZ reader lamp #ES-101N 2008-03-27
Very disatisfied with this product. It worked for about 1 week (oI only turned it on 2 times) then it stopped. I ordered a new bulb which will not work in the lamp. I have another Grandrich table lamp that works fine.

These are excellent reading lamps. My 2 year old lamp burnt out, [not the lamp bulb itself, but the electronics in the lamp base], could not locate parts,so purchased a new lamp from you, + 2 sets of electronic replacement units, just in case they burn out again. Your overnite delivery was a godsend, certainly appreciated it. I am a happy camper otherwise.

The lamp is really secondary...it's nothing fancy, just pvc pipe really. Although as someone else noted, it's not really ugly, it's just not fancy.
But the bulb REALLY does help. I do a lot of reading and studying, and so far I have not experienced any eye fatigue. I just gave one to my mom as a pre-Christmas gift; she has had some eye problems and reads a lot and does crosswords, and she loved it from the get go.
So my recommendation is that since it's really the bulb you want, buy the cheapest lamp that you can, and I believe that this one is the most reasonably priced.
Very Functional with Little Form 2006-10-07
This light works out well. As another reviewer noted, it's not very tall, but the flexible head allows for getting light to whatever surface you need, or changing it into indirect lighting. That height would be why I knocked it down from a five-star to a four-star.
It's no beauty, but it doesn't scream it's presence, either.

Floor lamp 2006-03-16
Does everything it claims to but was a little shorter than you think from the pictures. It has nice bright light which is cool - nice for a house with toddlers.
Not exactly sunlight

This lamp is advertised to simulate sunlight. I have full-spectrum bulbs that really do illuminate like the sun, but this isn't one of them. In fact, the replacement bulb simply states "fluorescent" on the packaging--nothing about sunlight simulation.
I had wanted light that was both useful and healthy, but this lamp doesn't deliver. On the plus side, I'm able to see my work well enough at night. But after a while the light hurts my eyes. After just a couple of months it's time to look for a replacement.

This item arrived 'gift wrapped' in a purple sack with a blank card. Bad on Amazon.
When I assembled this for my gift recipient, my grandma, I noticed scratches on the pole sections. Strike one on Grandrich.
Taking a look at the paperwork, I also noticed brown smudge marks all over the place, as if the papers had been dropped onto a dirt floor and left for weeks. Strike two on Grandrich.
And now, 4 weeks later, the light has already burned out. My parents have a similar light, which is where I got the idea, but theirs is several months old and still going. The only replacement bulbs I can find on Amazon are from Grandrich. I hope this is not their scam to make even more money with substandard products. Strike three on Grandrich.
On the positive side, the light is excellent while it's working. Very bright, and very white light. The gooseneck is easily redirected while remaining stable in every position. It's too bad my experience has been so embarrassing as a gift giver.
