I was thrilled with this item once I opened it it was super super soft and flexible. I love the fact that it is rechargeable and I don't have to keep spending money on batteries. The light itself is great you can have it dim or you can have it super bright you can have both sides or just one. This item completely surpassed my expectations I'm very excited about it and it would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs light for reading or for doing their craft.
