I love the way these lamps look, and thankfully other people mentioned that it is awkward to move the lamp on the arm. It really is best in a spot that you will set up how you want and then never really touch them. I have them above the sides of the bed, but because the shade on the lamd doesnt hinge, they had to be place dead over the spot where they will shine. Beause other people mentioned this I knew and wasnt surprised. The colour is gorgeous, maybe a tiny bit darker than the pic. Ive had them up 3 months and no issues.
