This is a great lamp, and it got instant praise the moment I turned it on. I put 2 energy efficient 15 watt bulbs in it (rated the same brightness as a 60 watt conventional bulb), and it lights up the whole room. It has a floor switch that makes turning it on and off very simple. I'd like it more if it was taller, but the height is accurate from the description.

I like this lamp - but be aware it's going to cause the output from the sides to look very orange. It seems most of the light that's supposed to illuminate the room comes from the top. That doesn't do a lot of good in my application, but in a room with a ceiling it'll help a lot. In terms of light output it's a bit weak where I'm at, but I suspect much of the light is getting soaked up by the open, dark ceiling above. The switch works well, and the cable is a reasonable length.
It is worth noting this lamp takes two light bulbs, and the lower one could be a lot easier to change if they would flip the socket upside down. Approach it from the bottom of the lamp.
The packaging prevented the light from getting damaged, but it's also some of the worst packaging I've ever encountered. It just doesn't seem like there was much of a strategy to it. It's an odd mix of styrofoam, plastic bags, and bubble wrap.

This lampshade is nice, just the right size - not too big, and looks reasonably well made. Packaging was not quite as robust as could be however.
The light depends on the output of the bulbs - feel free to mix up different outputs - so long as they are less than the overall load bearing ability of the cord and fixtures etc.
Gives a nice ambient glow, just right - overall very happy with it.
Would prefer if it was manufactured in the USA - its not a complex item like electronics..
