Lampe de lecture sur pied 21 po

I like the lamp, but the photo doesn't show you where the cord comes out. It comes out of the small tube that leads to the switch. Back in the olden days, the cord would come out of the base with a small hole for it. I was disappointed in that. Also I was disappointed that someone put the shade in too-short a box and it was crushed. Currently using another shade with it. . .
