This is the fourth Elise table lamp we've purchased over the years.  We use them in bathrooms, the little ones, and as reading lamps in bedrooms for the 18inch with 40 watts.  Best thing about them is they are simple and clean design and come with a quality in line dimmer so you can use them both to read and use  as mood or nightlights.  Watch out though, while packing is good, have had a couple arrive with non-functioning bulb, although not the fault of the lamp manusfacturer.
