When I recently bought all new bedroom furniture I decided to look for a matching pair of table lamps. These Sorrento lamps from Kathy Ireland were appealing for several reasons: they are attractive, have a very handy built in night light, and are very reasonably priced for their quality. Although I had seen other Kathy Ireland table lamps in person I had only seen the online images of these prior to ordering. What was not evident to me was the depth of the shade's gold color. Although I'm not normally a huge fan of gold lampshades, I really like the color these cast with a standard bulb: the resulting light is a very warm tone and eminently suitable for a bedroom.
The dimensions are perfect for a nightstand (though would work in most living rooms or dens too): they are 30" tall and the shade is a modest 16" diameter at the largest which means that it can fit on even relatively small bedside tables with no problem. The base is a lovely semi-opaque goldtone glass and conceals the 7 watt nightlight (which is included.) A minor quibble: there's only one 7 watt bulb in each base, and the glass is not opaque enough to conceal that fact so the nightlight looks slight asymmetrical when it's on. Changing the normal bulb is easy, but I think replacing the nightlight will be a vexing chore. The switch is a four position switch that allows any combination of normal lamp and nightlight, but is not a three-way light in the conventional sense.
The detail and antique bronze finish on these lamps is art deco flavored and is most agreeable. Both of my lamps arrived in excellent condition and were incredibly well packed (be prepared for a mighty struggle to get the Styrofoam packing elements out of the boxes.) You will need a vacuum cleaner to clean up the resulting Styrofoam detritus that's unavoidable.
These are very nice looking lamps and I like the functionality of the four-way light and the warm tones the lamp and shade combination produces. I have no hesitation recommending the Sorrento table lamp from Kathy Ireland.
