I recently ordered this small set of lamps.  Now I have them displayed in several areas of my home.  I placed one on a cabinet near my front entrance to provide better night lighting to a dark area.  The second lamp I placed on a front desk.  That made it so much easier for me to utilize the space for reading more efficiently.   I found that both lamps work well where I have chosen to place them.  The lampshades,  covered in linen, are of a tan color.  That alone blends them very well with most of my decor.  I especially like that the turn on location is towards the top of the lamp cord and not on the lamp itself as is usual.  Mostly I feel the price is just right for these two very well made and stable lamps.  I could have used them in a small bedroom but I needed them more where I placed them.  These lamps will be around for a while because they are simple and made with solid materials.  I may just buy another set for my mother in laws place.
