Any idea how these lamps would look on a dark wood end table?

They would look great. I have mine on dark wood bedside tables and they look great.

They would look very nice. The base is silver and the middle is glass. I really like mine and they are on a white night stand. They stand out much more on dark wood.

They are multicolored semi-clear plastic pieces. I hadn't thought about it, but I'd bet that they'd look pretty cool on a light table. My grandkids love them and play with them regularly.

Maybe! Something of that nature. Exact color of base and pole. I have had a couple of this type lamps for over 10 years and only problem and need to replace ONE of the lamps was because whatever used to weight base started coming apart in chunks causing replacement

The legs are black. However, I have them at a dark brown wood table, and it isn't noticeably different.

How many for a bedside reading light? More than I can afford, that's for sure. These are intended for ambiance on the dinner table, a fireplace mantle, etc. They do not cast a whole lot of light. That being said, they look very nice are a great addition to our dinner table (3-4 spread out down the middle of the table) and the mantle above the fireplace (four, clustered together).

I have mine in a regular floor lamp. A sconce would look nice too. I'm actually going to buy a few more to put in my recessed lighting.

Looks like they can be pointed up toward the ceiling but since they are already pretty close to the ceiling they'll likely create a bright spot. We pointed a few across the room at art on walls, that works well, and the others are lighting a sitting area. There may be different patterned or more 'diffuse light' bulbs that fit these lamp holders, you'd have to do some research.

You will need a different type of sconce. These do not provide much illumination; rather, they are accent lights.

I have 2 in my bedroom their big beautiful lamps,, you could use these without the shade, or buy a white shade to cover them.. good luck.....

I think very nice lights, mine still working great, two would work well and you could always use them for other uses after study time plus light the entire table.

I don't think so. I have with a cherry solid wood table. It is an absolutely beautiful lamp though. Love it.

Not as they are manufactured. You'll probably have to shave down the plastic tabs on the lamp housing.

Paul, check out the lamps on OneKingsLane.com and JossandMain.com. I ordered several from them and loved them all.

Yes! We have 2 table lamps and 2 floor lamps in this style and we use compact flourescents in all of them. I love these lamps- they are beautiful.

I personally prefer a solid wood table (1 color) so the lamp stands out.However, it's all a matter of taste, there are no rules, do what You like.

Hi. No the two I am using - and like - have a base like a regular bulb that you would use for a table lamp. I don't know the technically correct name for that base.

I actually think that wouldn't look bad at all...i love my light..if you need more light you may need to get LED bulbs as the Edison style is not very bright.
