Excellent Light
This is an excellent light at a very reasonable price. It seems to be a copy of the Giesemann Infiniti fixture, but includes a nice set of legs which the Giesemann doesn't and is a third of the price. It also includes an HQI metal halide ballast, which the Giesemann doesn't. Having used the light and seen the quality of the build, I can think of no reason to spend the extra money on the European fixture.
Regarding the review saying the fixture is made of plastic, this person is clearly unable to tell metal from plastic. The entire housing and the end caps are metal,. The legs are plastic, but plenty heavy duty enough to do their job. The cords are heavy duty rubber coated, and the switches feel solid. The holder for the MH bulb is ceramic and my Phoenix 14K bulb slid in and locked in place with no issues. The flourescent bulb mounts are a little unusual. The body of the T5 bulb is held in place with plastic clips and the electrical contacts are made with two fittings that slide over each end of the T5. This makes for a much more robust electrical connection than the push and twist type of connectors commonly used in flourescent fixtures.

Not Great, Just Ok
12 of 17 found this helpful For those who aren't familiar with it, this is a refurbished/reupholstered Steelcase Leap chair. The chair looks nice enough, but despite its numerous adjustments, I can't find a position for it that's truly comfortable. The seat has a slight forward tilt to it that I can't get rid of (the lip adjustment on the front of the seat doesn't change the overall angle). The upholstery on the seat also feels a little uneven, and in fact looks uneven if you look at the chair carefully from the front.
I bought this chair to replace a wooden kitchen chair that I had been using at the desk in my office. Compared to that, this chair is a great improvement. What's not great is the value for money equation. If I had bought this chair for $100 I would have said it's not perfect, but it'll do fine for a while until I find something I like better. But I didn't pay $100 for it, I paid $300. Three hundred dollars buys a LOT of office chair. The one I use at work has far fewer adjustments, but is actually more comfortable and probably cost half what I paid for this one.
I broke my cardinal rule of furniture buying: Never buy a chair you haven't sat in, and now I'm regretting it. I didn't want to take time from from a busy schedule to go to one of the few office furniture stores that carry high end brands like Steelcase, so I bought the chair mail order hoping that a big discount on a famous chair would solve my home office chair problem at a reasonable price. Didn't work out.
