Good-looking lamp. Can use anywhere.  Big pluses for me--A bit taller, 3-way switch, and cord enters at leg so no unsightly cord hanging down. Finish has some very slight grading of color (as described). You have to clip the shade material on the shade frame which is a bit of a pain but you don't have to worry about shade being damaged in transport. Shade is good-looking--beige tone and has some texture. All in all, very easy assembly.
