I got the table lamp first and loved it, so thought I would try this. Was afraid it might be "too much", but it is not. I obsessed about how to arrange the lights for at least a week, but now I am satisfied. The only thing I wish is that it had a dimmer included on the switch like my last floor lamp did. It gives off a lot more light than I thought it would with those dinky little 25 watt light bulbs.
