I had always wanted a bankers lamp, I originally purchased this for the living room, but it wasn't bright enough and the corner was left dull. I decided to move this to the bedroom, it is much better there. I love the frame and the look of it, however there are certain aspects that I don't like, when turned on, half of the shade is lighter than the other as the bulb sits sideways underneath. I have to tilt the shade so the bulb doesn't blind us in bed. The photo is when it was in the living room.
