I spent a lot of time looking for just the right lamps. When I saw these I took the chance I liked them very much in the pictures. I carefully read the details about the lamp. Everything was as specified with the exception of one very important point for me. It said it had a rocker switch. It did NOT! It had a regular twist switch which is my least favorite because they tend to wear out quickly. I will say however, that the twist switch on this lamp was made of metal instead of plastic. If I didn't like the over all lamps as much as I do I would have returned them. Other than the switch and one minor flaw in the ceramic under the glaze, the lamps are just beautiful. I hope the switch holds out.
