Lights are very nice against the back drop of the stained wooded headboard. The arms swivel nicely and the light gives off an even glow from both sides of the bed. The only downside was the plate upon which the lights hung on the wall. Even when screwed in from the side, there was a slight lean forward. I had to drill a hole into the plate and attach with screws into the headboard for stability and keeping the lights level. That being said, I am very happy with the purchase.
