This floor lamp was perfect for my living room.  I like that it doesn't take up a lot of floor space or shade space.  Also it gives off an adequate amount of light with the 2 bulbs.  Be aware that the lamp has a switch that sets on the floor so you need to have it in a place where you can easily step on it.  I was originally going to have it in a corner behind a sofa but of course that didn't work because I couldn't pull the sofa out each time I wanted to turn the light on or off.
