I’m pleased with this lamp. The glass is not see through (unless you look really closely) which I like and they are not too overwhelming in size. They sit just at the right height where the light doesn’t glare out under the shade at eye level when sitting on the couch next to it. The only thing I didn’t like was one of the sockets would not stay seated onto the lamp body. I might add a bit of glue on that one to ensure it stays. Also, I feel I could find an equally nice lamp for lower prices elsewhere if wanted to spend more time looking. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.
