This lamp is exactly what I'd been looking for. It matches my living room mission-style furniture very well because of its straight lines and colors on the lamp shade (tan, green, brown). I'm using CFLs so my only concern is the size of the bulb and its proximity to the shade, but this should be fine with a smaller bulb. The lamp is very sturdy and easy to keep clean. I didn't want a fabric lamp shade so this lamp is perfect. I really like having two bulbs so that I can vary the amount of light in the room.
