These are fantastic.  I needed a lamp to brighten up our living room but didn't have much room for traditional lamp due to how our tv console, tv, and decor around the tv lined up.  Thankfully, this lamp grabbed my eye and we love it!  Got it with black/blackened bronze metal and milk glass and the glow is still nice and bright but at least a little muted.  Bigger than I thought and remind me a bit of marshmallows but they fit perfectly and add a modern vibe.
