The furniture in our great room is rattan and the decor is an eclectic mix of South Pacific and Southeast Asian handicrafts brought back from my travels. We bought two of these lamps to flank a ladder-styled shelf unit along a large open wall to the side of our fireplace. We turned one of the lamps the opposite way to look like a mirror image and they look absolutely gorgeous! They were just what we needed to finish off our room and they have become quite the conversational piece when company sees them.
