Love this lamp!  It is not a really tall lamp but it is very versatile in that you can turn the top part and also adjust the shade so the light shines where you want it to. The burlap shade is very nicely done and the contrasting white inside it really throws the light out. It takes a 3-way CFL and, even on the lowest setting, does a nice job of lighting a room. I used a 30-70-100 bulb which is bright enough.  The finish is a pretty bronze color, well done. The only complaint is that it can be a nuisance to get it to stand straight. Putting wedges of something (even a folded up index card) works well to help straighten it. I got it from the clearance section and had a small problem which 
Wayfair remedied right away. Very pleased with purchase.
