15. A sleek, minimalist floor lamp that will instantly breathe new life into any rooms in your space that are lacking in natural light.

Promising review: "This lamp is great! I was expecting something of somewhat inferior quality for the price; I was pleasantly surprised. I needed something to give additional light in my office where I am doing online classes, and this lamp was perfect. I did opt for the inclusion of the LED bulb, and I'm so glad I did — it gives off wonderful bright light, and will not be too hot for the plastic shade (which I knew would be plastic, and is lightweight but sturdy and looks just fine). Assembly was so quick. Don't hesitate to buy one for wherever you need extra light." —Laura B.

Despite the price, the table is substantial in size and heavy enough that it will not flip over; but not so heavy that it is cumbersome to move. The joints are well done and the glass top is beveled. It looks a lot more expensive than it is." —M
