These are a perfect standard size to be used on a bedside table or to add height to the decorations on a table/cabinet top. I didn't realize each lap had 2 light pulls and I ended up really loving it. I keep one light on at night and it gives off the perfect amount of light. They're sleek & stylish and I think they're great quality for the price. The first order came and the base of one lap was smashed and therefore unusable - no fault of the maker/manufacturer. Wayfair's generous return/refund policy saved the day and they mediately shipped me a replacement lamp.
