I wanted something simple and sleek for our bedside tables, and this lamp is perfect! The nickel base and light-colored shade are really eye-catching, while still possessing a clean and classic look. I also like the 3-way bulb, and love to put it on the lowest setting just for ambience when I host a gathering, and folks may be going in and out of that bedroom for their purses and coats. AND - the price point for a set of TWO lamps like this can't be beat. Many other lamp sets cost over twice as much.Delivered fast and in terrific shape, also! Love Wayfair!
