The lamp I wanted had a longer light, but was way too expensive; this little lamp does the trick!! Works great, simple to put together and many options of type of lighting, cafe, computer, different shades. I happen to have the light part twisted towards the wall to give off area light rather than directly over the sofa and it looks and functions just right! Great deal for upgraded classic. Comes with remote. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I would have loved a longer light bulb, but again, it work really well.
