Charging is built into the column: a 120V AC outlet plus two 5V/2A USB ports handle three devices at once, and an indentation on the surface holds a phone or tablet upright while it charges. Storage runs the full height with 3 open shelves and 1 drawer with a handle, each shelf rated to 5 pounds for remotes, frames or magazines, while a wire clamp keeps the cable tidy. The column stands 63 inches on a 10-inch square base, so it works as a side table beside a sofa or a bed where floor space is short. A pull chain switches the light. The E26 socket takes LED, incandescent or CFL bulbs from 9W to 60W, sold separately.
