This lamp is so cool!  If you are looking for a tall lamp with personality, this is it!  We purchased the black base with pewter column and limbs and it's very angular and covers a wide space with lighting.  Actually much brighter than any other single bulb floor lamp I have seen.  We decided to go with a 40-watt LED candelabra base bulb as it's a lot brighter than the bulbs included and they will last longer for a lot less $$$.  This lamp is perfect for my husband's office corner where it can light up the corner and 1-2 of the lights (out of the 5) cover over his desk.  We love it!
