Love this lamp! I purchased it for the height and with the hope that I could possibly fill it with non-breakable items, and yes it fit the bill. I filled them with shatterproof Christmas ornaments and plan to fill them with seasonal items in the future. The lamp shade is also very nice - it has a linen-like texture and a crisp white color that doesn't show the bulb when the lamp is on. Another nice feature for the price is the 3 way switch. Good quality! Great value!
