This lamp is tall, but it’s the perfect piece to add some elegance. It is true to color and height, only gave it a 4 because its not that bright, it’d be a better reading lamp. (Keep in mind I have a energy efficient light in it, I only have one lamp, and though my living room is small it has vaulted ceilings so it’s a big space to light. Might be better if I had 2, or if it was in a smaller room.)
