I would recommend this lamp but do need to say it gets pretty hot. I’m not sure if it’s because the metal around the bulb or what. I have it in my bedroom and after only having it turned on for maybe fifteen minutes, a light bulb exploded and melted chards or glass into my bed and carpet. I have now put only 50 watt bulbs into it hoping to prevent it from happening again. I try not to leave it on for too long since then. Otherwise it’s an attractive piece of furniture.
