I had bought these lamps thinking they would be perfect in a bedroom. I found when they arrived that they were much taller than I had anticipated. I should have measured before I purchase them.

These lamps are large, elegant,nstatement pieces. I absolutely love what they do for my living room. I find that symmetry is the key to having an elegant space. I love having these matching lamps.

In the summer here in Upstate New York I put up white curtains, in the fall I'll put up my blue and white toile. I can't wait to see how these lamps will stand out against that blue and white toile material.

I may eventually get a different shade/heavier shade. The lamps themselves came with a 100-watt bulb which is actually a little bright for the space, and I may go down to a 60. The shade is a little too sheer to my mind for a 100-watt bulb, but honestly that's the least of my concerns.

These lamps exceeded my expectations. They're well worth the investment.
