I bought this light thinking it might be a good gift idea for one or both of my teen granddaughters . I have experimented with it, and I think it’s a great little lamp. I’m pretty sure teen granddaughters (or sons or daughters) would enjoy the light.It’s very sturdy: 1) the pole is a heavy-duty metal, 2) the base is not massive but it is weighty, and makes the lamp very stable. 3) it stands ram-rod straight (if you properly tighten each joint in the metal pole; don’t OVER-tighten), 4) it can be operated manually (buttons on the lamp pole), 5) or it can be operated with an APP on your cell-phone. Assembly was easy!! Setup of the APP is a different story, but see below for more explanation.It does all the STUFF claimed in the Amazon ad (I’m not going to inventory all it’s functions here, you can just read them for yourself in the ad). Once you get the APP downloaded and working, you can set scheduled on-off times, brightness, color and color-sequences. There are 100’s of functions and features, and your teen children or grand-children will soon have mastered several all of them.The music control was OK, I guess…(that stuff doesn’t excite me at all), but I did try it. It’s pretty easy to figure out the music control feature, but I’ll tell you this; it does require an audio source of music…. with the APP properly configured, you set your phone microphone next to the speaker, and the light will react with and to the music that is playing through that speaker.I had some issues getting it connected to the APP. I think there may have been at least one update since my model, so the APP connection instructions may be SLIGHTLY different one model to another. It's imperative that you follow PRECISELY the instructions provided in the manual AND in the APP. With the speciific lamp I have, the printed manual instructed me how to assemble the lamp, then directed me to download and setup the APP…… BUT once I had setup the APP, I had to return to the manual for continuing instructions….. instead I got caught up in exploring the APP, and so missed an important step in the printed manual.Go slowly, and FOLLOW the instructions.I did not test voice control. I have a speech impediment, so I don’t use voice control for any reason.I bought two sets of landscape lights (sold on Amazon) by this same company, Sunthin. The support service from this company is incredible!!! I can’t say enough good things about their representatives. Every issue I had with the landscape lights was quickly resolved, once I finally made contact with them. If you have any trouble with this smart lamp, don’t hesitate to reach out to the company. They worked with me in settingup the APP for this Smart Floor Lamp. They were VERY responsive.I was worried at 1st. I thought the blinking would never stop when I initially turned it on. Then I downloaded the app but would not pair with my phone. I thought I would have to return it. It turns out, if you wait a little after turning it on, it stops blinking. I gave up on app, nothing wrong with a good on & off switch. This has to be the best floor lamp I ever bought!We recently moved into our home and needed lighting for our living room. We considered wiring for ceiling lights but the cost was exorbitant. We don't like clutter, but prefer clean lines and bright lights. We took a chance on this light and couldn't be happier. It is sharp, simplistically modern, and SO bright: no more eye strain for reading at night. My kids enjoy the lighting options to no end:)As for the assembly, I don't quite understand the bad reviews. My 9-year-old was able to assemble it in less than 5 minutes and have it fully functional. It is sturdy, simple and a "10" in my book!I love the style! the simple and modern design fits our decoration. And it's easy to assemble bad lights up bright enough for using in living roomm,really fits our need.btw It's heavy base and quality material,I would say it's what I've looking for.Product quality is GoodNice finishingIf you want a brighter light for your place, that is the right product.Great intelligent lamp, creat fantastic light atmosphere at night. Easy assemble and app use, I can switch and control the lamp through my phone. The most important is the service of the merchant, patient and useful?The lamp is easy to assemble and really sturdy. I don’t think you can control the lamp by itself if the app is set up. The app is kinda a pain but once it’s working it’s great. Overall very cool purchase.
