Customer Rating: - Exceptionally Lame Construction
I have a similar lamp without the magnifier. But mine has the same body construction, which is awful. The body is swing arm is made of plastic and breaks easily. I'm very handy and tried to repair it a couple times; but it's just beyond repair. The light itself is great. But without an arm to keep the light in the air, it's just a piece of junk. It's not very helpful if your light is at the same height as the lamp base -- what a waste of money!

Customer Rating: - Easy viewing
A good tool for simple magnification viewing. Magnifier is used for assistance in doing small detail repair work. The base could use a little more padding to avoid harsh contact with fine surfaces i.e. counter/desk tops.
