I ordered this lamp in gold ot add a bit of bling to a dark corner of the living room.  I was slightly worried that it might be a bit much given the colour (I'm a bit of a beige person)  but it actually looks really nice, it gives a nice soft light and is not to high for the unit it sits on.  I would say the price may be a little high for what it is.  Don't know why it is described as a bedroom light as it seems to look really good wherever you place it.
