We needed smaller lamps to go on either side of our storage headboard and these have worked out greatly! Despite the actual size of the lamps, the cord is decently long - so no need for extension cords. The design is simple, so they go with any and all decor. We have a cat (who loves to knock anything in his path to the ground) and he has knocked both lamps off multiple times - no chipping, breaking, or damage to the lamps whatsoever. I recommend these lamps if you are needing something small, simple, and durable.
