If measurements are important, please note the swing arm is literally 14" and from wall to outer end of shade it totals 17". This won't work for my original purpose, however, I like it and hope to place it where the 3"-4" difference won't really matter.
Also, the shade is more ochre than tan but that, too, works for its new placement. I would recommend to a friend: good quality, nice design, comprehensive instructions.
