These lamps are great if you're looking for a simple, low profile lamp.  These have been placed on either side of a vanity set in our master bedroom, so the small footprint is great as they don't take up valuable vanity space.  The problem we've found is they don't fit a standard CFL bulb without half the bulb sticking out above the lamp shade.  Still trying to find the right solution as they're intended to fit a 60 watt bulb and we'd like to stick with either CFL or LED bulbs.  

Pros: Low profile
Cons: Don't fit standard light bulbs
