This lamp is perfect for my desk! It's just what I need as a lamp and a nice decoration. It's very easy to use - just pop 3 AA batteries at the bottom and switch it on. It even has a timer setting where it allows the lamp to turn on for 4 hours, sleep for 20 hours, and then turn on again automatically without needing you to switch it back on manually. It's definitely worth it - absolutely recommend it! :)
