I wanted two table lamps to go behind my sofa but still be visable.  These lamps are perfect - the height, the colour, the fabric covering the actual lamp stand - all are lovely and fit the bill totally.  They look far more expensive than they were and all in all I believe I have found the perfect table lamps.  (plus packaging and instructions to assemble - excellent)  If you want high table lamps you could do no better than these.
