I got this as Christmas gift for my mother for her bedroom.  She lacked good lighting and this light is so bright it is literally the only light she needs!  She is also in love with Mid Century Modern design - and this fits the bill to a tee.  It is very attractive and has a nice slim profile making it easy to fit into any space without sacrafis=cing floor space.  The dueal chain lighting available also makes it easy to control how bright or dim you want the room...overall perfect design and excellent quality!  The heavy base ensures it won't tip over, and the subtly lampshade adds a touch of class.
