I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. When I opened the box to remove the lamp I didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. I wasn’t crazy about the dark color when I saw it in person but once I plugged it in & turned it on the blue doesn’t look so dark. I am very happy with this lamp because it does not take up a lot of space on my bedside table & it gives out a good amount of light. I really love this lamp & recommended it to anyone in need of a lamp.
