The description says 'touch switch' but there's no actual switch; you can't operate the lamp without having to use the remote control! The lamp shade photos do not show the fact that there's actually a partition; it's like that Velcro band that nurses wrap around your arm to take your blood pressure - same idea re: Velcro and the overlap.  And when the package arrived, the brand of the product is actually 'Messlook', not Ebert. Lies, lies, lies.
