The gold brushed tone is nice and the main reason for purchased two lights was for reading in bed ... I don’t want switches on the wall next to bed and don’t want to get up to run off... sonthe individual pulls on each lamp are perfect .   They are a nice (non whimsy ) size with a true white shade .  The downside is that a power cord comes out the bottom of the fixture thru a hole.. a little work needs to be done to hardwire .. but the hole is left there .  It would be nice if they offeeed a small attractive plug for the hole .  My husband wants to put a small pc of metal inside (painted gold .. but I still think that looks obvious .. I’ll probably glue a small metal paired wood plug in .  It doesn’t state this cord or show in picture/description so be aware .  I’m still keeping them .
