Bought these for the master bedroom. Originally I was looking at lamps from Restoration Hardware to go with the nightstands I purchased from them. I wasn't happy with the selection and wanted to find something with a similar feel. These were the perfect style, height, and price. Came well packaged so there was no damage to the base or shade. The base is extremely heavy and has a very elegant look. Best part is that the cord isn't dangling from the top (near the bulb) like some other clear lamps do. I would definitely recommend these to a friend.
