I have this floor lamp in a small living room area, next to the TV.  I love the look and functionality of it.  The three lamps may be swiveled up or down, which is just what I wanted.  If I'm watching TV, I turn on the top bulb and turn it upward.  If I'm reading, I turn on all of the bulbs and turn them all downward.  Plus, the footprint is small, as advertised.  I could use it in numerous ways around the house.  It looks exactly the way it does in the photos.
