We looked at numerous table lamps to complete our bedroom remodeling. My wife was a little concerned that these lamps wouldn't provide enough light, but that is not an issue! They truly complement our bedroom. We have black furniture and a natural bamboo floor and these lamps work perfectly! They're size is not too overwhelming, but again they provide ample lighting. I only wish that we had more room, so that we could have purchased the floor lamp that looks a lot like these.Assembly was a snap and it appears that the lamps are well made and should last quite a while.
