[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 19558, member: 103"]Wow on the Lamp! Here's the thing about sofas tables: they are meant to fit behind sofas. If they are higher than the back of the sofa it can present an awkward appearance. If one has a camelback sofa, even more so. (Tends to look like Joan Crawford's shoulder pads.) I have a table which used to belong to my grandparents. It lived in their hallway with a monster lamp at one end with a zillion crystal dingle-dangles. It is taller than a dinner table.
