i love the clean lines and slightly industrial look. it’s nicely understated. the base is very solid and heavy, which is good (it’s not easy to knock over, even for a klutz like me).
i actually got this, in part, to house a LED grow bulb for my house plants for the dreary, dark winter, not realising the lightbulb faces *sideways* within the fixture, not straight down, but that actually makes it better for reading by (the reflected light makes for less glare). i’m sure my plants will forgive me a bit of indirect light!
note: *do* check the measurements to make sure you’re not looking for something taller, as it’s not overly tall.
