Mainstays 12.5” Mini Black Wood Ball Table Lamp with White Fabric Shade

It is clearly not a living room lamp choice. More of a lamp for a bedroom or a den. My screened-in patio is fully decorated with: Black rocking chairs and end table, black carpeting, black storage shelving against one wall, black-out curtains, black wall lamps with white shades, and cream color walls . (I know, something not black!), By placing this new lamp on the end table [between the two rocking chairs], blended the entire patio, into one beautiful setting. At night, while sitting on my patio, with the lights on, there is complete privacy in the room. During the day, the light and heat are prevented from impacting the patio's temperature. So, black, black, black, is not such a design - that is devoid of science. : )
