It’s really hard to find a simple floor lamp like this. I didn’t want this to be an eye catching piece but more a subtle form of light in the corner of the room. This is a perfect, modern and sleek floor lamp. To make it more modern looking I’d prefer a white shade, the linen/natural beige tone wasn't really what I thought I was getting. Brightech should consider giving customers the option of shade color in the future. I’m working on trying to get a white shade because I’m the photos it looks white, but it’s definitely not white. Overall, I recommend.
