Love these lamps. I purchased 2 of these lamps to go on each side of my king size bed. My husband hard wired them to the wall and they look amazing. I love that they have an actual/off switch which is located at the bottom of the main arm of the lamp. They make a great addition to our bedroom and gives us both more room on our nightstands by not having lamps on them. The shades are a soft white and give off a nice soft glow in the evenings. They shippped fast and arrived well packed and without any damage. For the price they are a great purchase.
