This sculptural table lamp is just the right size for my elderly mom’s room. It’s elegant and can cast a brighter light than I expected. I chose it as a sort of glorified nightlight for her. In the evening she needs a bit of light but nothing too bright so the dimmer sold me on this lamp. While the lamp looks cool, operating the dimmer is a little tricky. The onoff switch and dimmer operate on a touch basis rather than a dimming wheel or switch that clicks on and off. It took a little practice to get the light choice I wanted so that was bothersome. She would never be able to operate it herself. The odd switch and the lightweight of the lamp make it feel a little cheaper than it looks. Those reasons made me keep one star off. It is pretty though and I think it’ll work for our purposes.
