The cutie-patootie lamps are exactly that... as bed side tables they are perfect.  I found that I needed to place several large "art" books under them to raise them up to reading-in-bed height.   Once I did that, the lights finally looked like they belonged on the bedside tables, prior to that they looked too small and lost.   So, I would recommend them for sure... they are well made, give appropriate lighting for the task.   I used these lights in a smaller sized guest room, beside a queen bed.  I would not use them in a larger room or if they were beside a king bed, the proportions would be off then... and they'd look too small in that situation.
