When I order this desk lamp I never intended it for it to be the size that it is Im very satisfied a very Kim since I cannot even say how many this lamps was tried now this one Ive had one in the past a smaller one and I had it for years so the size of the lamp and basically that it has an on and off switch and its an electrical cord not batteries thats a plus cuz nowadays its hard to find things that you plug in for some odd reason so thank you Wayfair.
