We are happy with these light which are a perfect size  by our bed  yet allows for  extension to read.  It also has a nice cloth around the cord.  The only caveat  which almost made me lower the stars is that it has 2 keyholes for mounting  and such mounting has never been that secure. Once i did pull  the lamp out a  little and  feel  the need to be careful in that regard.  Of course if one hardwired  the sconce ( which is an option) that  would  not be an issue
