This lamp is exactly what I was looking for! I wanted a new lamp for the corner of my living room so I wouldnt necessarily have to use the ceiling light for readingrelaxing at night. Because the majority of the lamp is hidden behind the couch, it was important to find a lamp that had the onoff switch at the bulb (as opposed to the base, etc). I also love that it is a more natural light but still really bright for reading. Excited to make use of the lamp!
