I had a cheaper cube lamp but it was noisy and not that elegant. The Lunie lamp fixed that (NO sound at all when in standard use), better quality light and remote, built in relaxation sounds, doubles as a normal lamp with the plastic top on, built in timers and can be used as a small Bluetooth speaker. For all that I think the $60 asking price was great, and I'm delighted with my purchase. Wonderful to have in the dark winter months.
