We bought 2 of these for our master bedroom nightstands. Wanted something not too heavy or traditional, and these are perfect. Great height (not too tall or too short) so you don't see the bulb when sitting in bed reading. They are a nice transitional style and the open base frame isnt too overwhelming. We've tried 4 different lamp styles  over the last 8 years and these are the 1st ones i have loved!
