The Vidette 57" Arched Floor Lamp brings much needed light to a Dutch Colonial living room, lighting it up modestly with brash refinement and modern, understated flair. To say I am pleased is an understatement for what it has done to carry the rest of the dated furnishings of a hundred year old room centered around a cold stone fireplace and large windows into the new 20's. But pleasing is the word for just the right amount of light that pours gently from the shade to floor, illuminating just the details worthy of display and carrying to weary, evening eyes staying wakeful enough to read. Everything you need to get started is included in this well packaged, build it yourself, pleasing floor lamp. Careful not to throw away the special wrench and directions that are safely sandwiched in the styrofoam packaging.
