Bought these lamps to use on triple dresser (French Provincial style).  They are the perfect height for doing make-up and hair-without displacing dresser space. The downsides for me: The dark wine colored shades but I plan to replace with Ivory color and the almost black body of lamp.  It can be easily spray painted and highlighted to match the room decor.  I love these lamps!!!!  Price was great and shipping faster than projected.  Packed really well.
