I love this lamp! I have it beside my console table and it illuminates the area (and my gallery wall) with a beautiful, soft, ambient light. I used 2700K bulbs (it does not come with bulbs) for a warm white look. Works so well with out mid century furniture. The glass domes had a bit of a funny smell when I unpacked them, but I cleaned them with a bit of windex, and then they were fine.
