Lamps, once again, are very diverse. There are so many choices, it's a personal preference. I have a lot of people come in and they will wander the floor, and we will have maybe fifty lamps. I will take them to the book and then, they will find something they like. Some of the taller lamps, I would be very careful, especially with children (like floor lamps). A child knocked one over the other day and they are usually pretty heavy. They will have a big glass at the top. With some lamps, depending on your family situation, that's something I would consider - how easy it is to turn on and off. I would look to see if it is top heavy. I would look into things like that.
