I like this table lamp, but I found another table lamp in white that I liked better.  I did not need two pairs.  The base looks like a bowling pin and that kind of bothered me, so I got another lamp where the base looks like an upside down mushroom.  I like the new one better.  I really do like this lamp, however, it was an unnecessary purchase.  Also, the shade is kind of wide for a small lamp.  Nothing wrong with that, but I just prefer a narrower shade.  This really is a great little lamp for the price if you like the shape of it.
