A Buffet Lamp is usually tall and slender, with height generally no bigger that 36". These pencil pieces, once used on the buffet table for decoration, are now used in every room of the house. The bedroom is a very popular place for a buffet lamp because many new styles of beds have become quite tall. Using this lamp on a nightstand provides adequate height to read while in bed. As well, if you have a vaulted ceiling in your bedroom, the height helps to proportion the dimensions of the room.
