This lamp was exactly what I was looking for.  Color, but not bright, and modern, but not brushed nickel.  The base is broad so it won't tip easily if someone bumps the end table.  tI also takes a 3-way bulb so you can read by it or use the lowest wattage for ambient lighting.  The quality is great for the price.  I think this would work in several decors ranging from farm house to ultra modern.  I got the amber colored base, but I know there are several colors to chose from.  I've had several compliments on it.
