Very pleased with this small desk/reading lamp. Bought this lamp because its base was the right size to fit on shelf above my bed, for reading at night. Also because the switch is on the base within reach, not at the top of the lamp. Lamp is well balanced with a weighted base so no danger of tipping over. Description says the base is metal; this may be but the outer covering is plastic. The shade is metal. Simple, graceful shape. Love it!
