I have two of these lamps.  Love the style, color looks nice in my family room.  Easy to put together.
...1) does not do a 3-way light switch does not work.  
...2) I use a strong Led light that is almost as bright as the high beam of a 3-way switched light.
...3) love the lamps despite not being a 3-way light.
Yes I would recommend it to a friend.
