Very nice build quality. The base and the arm are made of aluminum. I like the soft touch buttons. The only thing I don't like is that the base should be heavier but isn't a deal breaker. There are three settings for the light, dim white light, bright white, and a yellow light similat to a light bulb.

I never expected to spend this much on a lamp, but I needed a good reading lamp, so I bit the bullet! I'm pretty pleased with what I got. Will be using it very very heavily in the near future, so I'll be posting an update in a few months.Pros
=====
-The 3 color settings are very handy, especially since it's hard to gauge exactly what color temp a lamp will be just by looking at a number (unless you're very good at that ;) ) The warm setting was actually pretty good, as I didn't expect much coming from a LED lamp. The 3 intensity settings were handy too! I'm glad I went for the multi-temp one over the other 4300 model.
-Well-built. Some parts are plastic, but it's not a huge deal, as everything seems very sturdy. The manual does say that the lamp CAN get loose with a lot of adjusting, but you can use a quarter to tighten the screws on the hinges.
-Easy on the eyes! My eyes didn't get too tired while reading with the lamp, which is great. I haven't done anything intense yet, but I'll be doing maybe 8-hour sessions in the future. Will update with results when I get a chance.
Cons
====
-Price. I'm not sure if the lamp is really worth $110. Then again, you can find similar LED lamps around the price range too, so I guess that's normal. Even so, I wasn't completely blown away by the product. If I had my way, I'd probably pay around $80-90 for the unit.
Side notes
====
-The lamp will not illuminate a huge area. It's plenty large enough for reading several textbooks, or even illuminating your bed if you have this on a nightstand, which is fine since this is a desk lamp. If you want to illuminate a small room, you'll need to supplement this with a regular room lamp.
-The maximum brightness level on the coldest temp still isn't as bright as other lamps I've seen, but it's sufficient for my needs. The light output is in the description, but I honestly can't turn that number into something useful, so I'm not downrating the lamp for this. I'll likely have it on with a regular room light anyways, and I'm mostly glad I didn't get a lamp that was so horribly blinding...to the point where the light bouncing off the page would make my eyes hurt. So this was good. ;)
-Make sure you take note of the dimensions if you're worried about size. The lamp was a little larger than expected, judging from photos alone, but that was no big deal for me.
-The upper part of the lamp does swivel sideways a little bit.
-The anti-glare filter does seem to cut glare, but don't expect your textbooks to be glare free. ;D
