We bought this lamp to put in the corner of our bedroom with our new Ikea chair. My husband likes to read when he can't sleep, and I have trouble with his night lights because I have sensitivity to light.  He put the new LED lights in the lamp so if we want to have just enough light to read by, or turn on two for ambiance or night light, or turn on all three lights to light up the whole room.
We love the contemporary look and this lamp because we can use it in any room in our home.
