This lamp was nice looking but ultimately we didn't keep because we have a wingback headboard and trying to use this over our night stand next to a wingback didn't work out space wise.  It didn't reach out far enough but that's really our mistake for not calculating it better ahead of time.  Aside from this, the connection where you screw in the bulb is made poorly, we nearly broke our bulb trying to remove it from the lamp. It's not the most expensive lamp so I guess for the price, it's just okay.
