Editor’s Choice
Number 5, the Teal lamp just above, is my favorite. I love the distinct pop of color, which is just the right shade to add a calming vibe to your bedroom. The hand glazed finish is a nice touch.
It’s the ideal height for reading in bed. It takes a brighter bulb which is good news for bookworms, but the deep lamp shade means you’ll never have the bulb burning your eyes out.
The 7.5 foot long cord is extremely generous and only beaten by one other in this review.
It may not be dimmable or a touch lamp, but it brings a touch of elegance and stands out from the crowd.
