These lamps are beautiful.  I as worried that 25 inches might not be tall enough but they sit on a rather  tall side table (28") and  are perfect.  Any taller, the light would shine in my eyes when sitting on our couch. 

Pros: Attractive traditional style lamp that works well with brown leather furniture 
Cons: Lamp is great but unpack outside.  The styrofoam crumbles and made quite a mess.
