I wanted a mid century look for my son’s reading lamp. It also had to be a plug-in style. I had a few narrowed down but this was the only one that took a “regular” light bulb (not a chandelier or tiny bulb). That sold it for me) the brushed brass detail is a nice tone- not yellowy, harsh or fake looking. The head articulates as well as the arm. It looks great and the price was right!
