I don't know if I just didn't pay attention to the description of size or not. I didn't expect it to be so small… but, that said, it's very sturdy and very bright. I got it to have during power outages and in fact, needed it for just that no more than 2 weeks after getting it. I put it on my coffee table in living room, which is open to kitchen and it lit up both rooms perfectly fine! That's between 550-650 square ft. I wish it was a little larger, but other than that, im satisfied. Would recommend… just make sure to check on the size.
