Bought them for our bedroom.  Our bed frame has black metal legs, so the lamps fit in well with the decor. They were easy to put together and  are well made for the price.  The light bulb provided gives off a warm glow at night, it softens up the room.  I had hoped to find lamps with a touch switch after seeing them at a friend's house.  We are really enjoying this particular feature, and although we don't generally charge our phones on our nightstands, I have recently purchased a tablet, where having a USB port in the lamp base could come in handy when I read in bed.  I'm very happy with these lamps, especially as I bought them on sale.
