This is an itty bitty lamp, but I'd read the reviews and knew this when I bought it. I was actually looking for something small to work with a lampshade I bought on another home site that turned out to be way smaller than I'd expected. Home sites really need to work on showing the customer the true size of products like this. The lamp itself is cute. It puts out a surprising amount of light for its petite size. It was more than I wanted for an accent light, so I used a nightlight bulb. Now it's Just fine. If you want a very small lamp this one is for you. Otherwise, look for something much larger.
