A great looking lamp with a convenient switch on the base.  The USB port and extra outlet are really handy for cell phones and laptops, so this makes a great nightstand lamp (I'm using a pair on my master bedroom nightstands).  Note that the outlet and USB port are exposed along with the front switch: you can turn the lamp so these are facing toward the wall, but then you have the power cord to look at.  In my opinion, the USB port and outlet do not distract from the lamp's appearance, but a very discriminating person may find them distracting or unsightly.
