It’s a good lamp, but it’s definitely very short- I realize the height is in the description, but for someone who is not used to measuring inches, I trusted the picture and it seems much taller in the picture they provide. Assembling it is a bit of a pain, but once it’s done it’s sturdy and looks good. The dome is very white, when it’s turned off it definitely looks plastic, but when it’s turned on it looks nice. The cord is black and very thick. Difficult to hide.
