This lamp was perfect for my living room.  I needed a lamp that was stationed at the back of the base so I could fit it behind my sectional.  The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 was that it could be a little taller and the seam where the 2 parts meet could look at little better.  Fortunately for me that is hidden behind my couch.  I also got the table lamp.  Made a great addition to my living room.
