Love this Lamp! I took the advice of other purchasers  also ordered a vintage bulb 60 Watt
as the bulb that was included was too bright. If you are not looking to read by it but just add a soft glow to the corner of a room you could also do a 40 Watt bulb.￼ this is not a reading light. It seems to be very well-made easy to put together and came well packed. It’s exactly what I wanted for the metal console in my living room also purchased on Wayfair. ￼￼
