Simple style. They will be easy to clean..no crevices.  They are a perfect height for night stands.  II like to be able to avoid contortions when turning on the lights.  I am also thrilled that I have the USB port for my phone.  Since so many people have abandoned land lines, this insures that I won't be without a charge.  I am building another house and will certainly try to get another pair when the time comes.
