We have a large patio that is somewhat L-shaped. We have a large fan and light in the main area, which is where we have a couch, chairs, and metal table in front of the couch. I have a bistro table and four stools in a section of the patio, but there is no lighting in that area, just an overhead fan. We love, especially in the Fall during football season, to sit out side. We also love to entertain and one of our favorite things is to have friends over and grill steaks or hamburgers. As it gets dark earlier in the Fall, the area near the table on the back porch gets no light. I had thought about having a light kit installed on the fan, but someone mentioned that I should get a lamp. I didn’t know if I would like having a lamp outside, but I began to look on Wayfair and actually saw some industrial type lamps that I really liked. The colors on this lamp look so good with our table and chairs. They also blend in with our couch and chairs. It produces a great amount of light and I can also move it over closer to the table if I need to. I love how it looks on the back porch and would not hesitate to recommend this lamp. I think it would also look great inside a house as well. I did not want to fail to mention that it was extremely easy to assemble.
