Exactly what I was looking for in our bedroom on our nightstands.  I wanted something heavy and high quality, but sleek and not too chunky looking.  These are beautiful and unique, and the base is very heavy.  It would be tough to knock these over!

One of the two was more difficult to put together.  The cord was tough to shove down into the middle metal part, but I did it with some effort.  I bought the matching floor lamp, and it's gorgeous as well!

Pros: Sleek, unique, heavy base, beautiful
