Dimensions are given! Don't complain it's too small. Shade is sturdy and has a nice texture and color both on and off. Read the instructions! There is a piece that screws off before you set the shade, and then the piece is screwed back on, keeping the shade in place. Lightbulb goes in last. It's an elegant little lamp that blends perfectly with my Danish modern furniture and Japanese prints. The faux wood looks like wood and is more heavy, so the lamp feels more stable. The chain works every time. Haven't used the remote.
