This is a great lamp.  I was looking for something small for a nursery, but didn't want a traditional nursery or "kid" lamp.  It's a great size and nicely made, we will be able to use it for long after it's needed in the baby room, and it can easily transition to any room.  I bought 3 lamps for this room and returned all of them until I found this one. It's simple, which I like - but the design on the lamp gives it some nice dimension so it doesn't feel so basic.
