I ordered 2 of these lamps to use on night stands in a master bedroom.  They are large enough to have presence without overwhelming the space.  The silver thread in the shade adds a bit of elegance.  The reason for rating it a 4 is just because the color is quite different from the picture.  The glass is a pale sea foam green - not any shade of blue. However, I would definitely recommend this lamp for use anywhere in the home.
