Rustic table lamps shed more then light in a room. They are a true accent piece.
If you're decorating in a country theme I would definitely add one type or another of this style lighting to you space. And why stop at one... bring in the matching rustic floor lamp and chandelier to match. When you tie your lighting in together it really helps complement the theme of your living space.
Country lighting,cabin lighting or lodge lighting (whatever the term may be) is for the person that is an outdoor enthusiast or one that can really appreciate nature and wildlife at its best.
