I purchased this lamp to be a reading lamp next to a recliner in my office. This lamp not only perfectly matches all the colors in the room I have, but the table is awesome - a place to set my drink and book! The only reason it isnt a 5 is because its a bit wobbly. It would be better if it was weighted more in the base. Its not so bad I cannot use it, I just need to be careful how heavy my items are and ensure I dont bump into it.
