It’s actually bigger than most of the bedside nightlights listed on amazon. Can be used as a dim light or bright. Usb port is a great addition, although when charging a phone you have to be careful it's not near the edge.
The shades are very cool and good quality with a linen type texture. Me nor my fiancé are lamp lovers and we have outfitted our home in recessed lights to eliminate the need for them. This lamp is beautiful.
