The shade diffuses the light enough to work well in the living room without too much glare on the tv. It makes a great desk lamp or accent lamp.

Was awesome desk lamp. Grandson loves it. Replacement for an original lamp that was defective. Just love this robot lamp.

It has a good weight and exceeds my expectations with regard to size. I always get compliments on it and it's very reasonable priced. Looks great with edison bulb.
