This lamp has much more presence in the room than I would have imagined.  It’s true size is not reflected in the pictures online.  I am using it in a guest bedroom in which I originally thought I was going to put a table lamp on the nightstand between the bed and a chair in the room.  I’m so glad I opted for this instead.  It sits in the corner behind the chair which it hangs over and illuminates the area so much better than a table lamp would have.  I am extremely happy with my purchase.
