We really like this lamp. It give off a really nice soft light. Wonderful for when we have house guest! However, beware if you live in any kind of humidity it seats! We went away for a few days and the humidity never was above 60% and we came home to a puddle of salt. The dog bed absorbed a lot of the mess, and the dogs took care of some of it. Hahahaha. Since then we have dried it up and have now left the light in 24/7. We do get a lot of complaints on it. Very nice decorative piece.
