I liked this so much, we got 3! We have a living room and master bedroom with no built in light fixtures, and these have helped both spaces immensely. Because this lamp can be placed right up against a wall, it has been the perfect solution to bring more light to the spaces without having to actually make a space. We have them nestled behind our night stands in our bedroom, and between a sectional and the wall of our living room, and it works great. I might prefer the lamp shade to be slightly less bright white, but that is just a personal preference.
