A beautiful addition. We bought two-- one for rack side of our contemporary four-poster. We didn't want table lamps and these give us perfect light for night reading. The design and color really jazz up the space. The only down side was we didn't realize they came with a cord that wasn't attached (guess it's primarily meant for hard wiring). Thankfully attaching the wires was something we could do and do they now are happily part of the decor. It's an easy process to attach the outlet cord, but if folks don't have experience, it would be wise to have an electrician do it.
