I bought 2 of these in the white finish.  Very happy with my purchase.  One lamp is for a dim living room that usually requires a lamp & the overhead light on for sufficient lighting to read by.  This lamp has surpassed the need for either of the other lights.  It is a wonderful, warm and bright light.  We have used the dimmer setting a few times & it has  a great range of dim to bright.  It was also very easy to assemble.
