Review on Brightech Madison - Compact Nightstand with Integrated Lamp, USB Port & Shelves for Bedrooms - Mid Century Modern End Table & Attached Floor Lamp for Living Rooms - Side Table & Reading Light by Marta Bruns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Too dark and low for a lot of reading

Very good desk, strong and durable. I really like the two USB ports - that's exactly why I bought it. They are right in front and easily accessible. However, I can only give four stars because there isn't enough light to read a newspaper unless the room is well lit. The included bulb is equivalent to a 40W bulb, but it's easy enough to swap in a higher wattage bulb. But the pole is too short to shine very far - everything goes under, so you can't read it with this lamp unless you're sitting with a newspaper on your lap. This might work for a book you're holding on your lap, but otherwise there should be enough other light in the room. That's a shame because all it takes to be a very good reading light is another lamp section on a pole to raise the light about a foot or so, but it doesn't have that. It's good to have large writing on your lap, but not enough light to easily read many other things. (Easy to assemble.)

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never
