I was very excited about getting my purchase. It is hard to equate the size in the picture to the actual lamp when received. My expectation that it was smaller in the picture but actually is much bigger. Small enough to place on a desk but is tall to hover over the computer screen. Just what I was looking for. Easy to assemble and the best feature is the on/off switch on the cord. Plan to purchase the light bulb as pictured today at Lowes.  100 percent satisfied.
