This lamp is exactly what I was looking for. It has the 3 way switch in the middle plus 3 other bulbs for added brightness. There is plenty of light for reading and also brightens the entire room if needed. I like a lot of light to read so this is perfect.

We were looking for a beautiful lamp that would give off lots of light for reading and this one has been perfect. We have had it in use several months now and not only is it a lovely lamp but my husband's expectations were far exceeded where brightness for reading was concerned. We couldn't have been more happy with a lamp! It. is extremely high quality also.
