This is one incredibly AWESOME lamp!! I am so thrilled that I bought it! I was looking for a thin, different, cool lamp that had some uplighting for a dark corner - I didn't need/want a lamp that ONLY shot light up to the ceiling so I did want some ambient light as well... this proved more difficult to find than I thought. I wanted a semi-decent amount of light but knowing that I want a THIN lamp that was going in a SMALL space I wasn't wanting a traditional lamp as far as lighting. I got this thinking I could send it back if it didn't work - never in a million years will I return this, it's one of my favorite lamps! It has a very heavy, weighted, stabilized base to prevent it from being knocked over or inadvertently being tipped which for those with kids or dogs may be very important since both red and clear upper portions of the lamp are thicker glass pieces. The lamp has a long cord and a foot pedal on/off switch which is a GREAT positive so that you can put the lamp in awkward or difficult to reach location (As I did behind a chair in a tight corner with no plug) but yet have it reach a plug fairly far away without an extension cord and then tap the foot switch to turn it on & off. This lamp takes a 100W bulb (unlike nearly all others I have found...) and as such gives off a really decent amount of light - probably also due to the fact that the 'shades' are true glass it allows the light to travel through them. What I like the most about it though is that the lamp actually shines a nice amount of white light upwards from the lamp and then the red shell forms a nice red "aura" around the lamp that gives light as well (obviously red tinted light, but it is light none the less). I was suprised with the amount of light this lamp gave off, it should be without saying that it would have a red hue to it but you get a fairly decent amount of lighting for such a small lamp. About the only even remotely negative thing I can think to say of this lamp is that changing the light bulb is a little tricky in that you just have to be careful since you can't really rest your hands or put a lot of pressure on the outer glass 'shades' since they are glass pieces that are are held in with long screws. I doubt you will find a better lamp anywhere!!
