Do you guys think it looks ugly to have lamps on side tables be off-centered like this? I need an objective third-party opinion on this. I like them off-centered because it leaves more usable space on the table (you can set your tea on it, you can set your iPad on it when you're FaceTiming, you can set other things on it). If you saw this placement when you walked into a home and nothing else was on the glass table, would it stand out as odd to you?

Personally, I wouldn't notice this in a room unless it was explicitly pointed out. I think it's fine, but I'm no Property Brother.

Thanks Nealio, I think it works pretty fine too. Now to find a better way to hide those cables...

Personally, I like that usable space. If the lamp was placed at the center, you can't place certain things on that table, yet it is right next to the couch. So, I'd prefer to keep the space reserved for any appropriate use. I wouldn't find it odd if I saw it somewhere.

I actually ended up removing the lamp from the coffee table, there was no reason to have a lamp on these, and there's so much more usable space without it. The space feels more open and it also removes one cable that I'd have to otherwise hide.

Now to make sure that the tabletop doesn't get cluttered with stuff that gets left there...

Arranging tabletop decorations off-center looks nice and modern in my opinion. In your case it's also helping hide the cord, and it leaves more space for a mug. I say roll with it!
