The flamingo novelty lamp is just the right size for a small nightstand. We bought the giraffe lamp that is a lot like this one, and put it on the other nightstand.  While buying a pair of flamingos might be a bit much, having one of each (giraffe and flamingo) is a fun decorating idea. Totally works for my daughter who has whimsical, bohemian tastes. 

This lamp is nicely crafted. No complaints at all. Would buy again.
