Attractive if not necessarily bright lamp
I was immediately struck by the style of this lamp (as well as its one bulb sibling). On that front the product image speaks for itself--either you find it attractive or not. There are several things that the images don't show however. First although it may at first glance appear to be metal the body of the lamp is a dark wood. Second the lamp looks like it could be unstable but the base is much heavier than the rest of it meaning its center of gravity is low and it remains very stable--I've never been worried it was going to tip over. Third the cord emerges out of one of the long sides of the rectangular base so this may affect how you would want to place it.
I really like this lamp--I can't say love not for a lamp--but there are three potential caveats. First it is not especially bright even with two 100 watt bulbs as the glass lampshades seem to consume a good chunk of the bulb's light. Second that light is distinctly amber in color. It's almost feels like the room is being lit by torches (albeit without any flickering flames). Third the switch for the lamp is on the cord which feels awkward; as a result the lamp is probably best suited for rooms where it can be plugged into an electrical outlet controlled by a switch. (The lamp's switch also controls both bulbs simultaneously so there's no way to turn just one of the bulbs on.)
Overall I am very happy with this lamp. If you like the style and don't find any of the caveats above to be a problem I highly recommend it.More detail ...
