I read reviews, but its very rare when I write one and this lamp was worth reviewing! My living room has overhead lighting, but is very dark at night. The other challenge I had was that after changing my mind about furniture I realized I wouldnt have room for end tables to put lamps on. This lamp was the perfect choice because it doesnt take up much space and was a more attractive option than a standard floor lamp. It was so easy to put together and took less than 10 minutes. I added a 70w led bulb and now the room is so much brighter and the lamp has a soft  beautiful look. My mom loved the lamp so much shes buying a couple for her house. Ive been really happy with all of my purchases from Wayfair, but this lamp has been my favorite so far!
