Listing details are inconsistent: the title and feature copy describe three 3-inch pillars at 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 inches tall, while the dimensions, shade-height and weight fields describe a single 6.5-inch item. The listing also calls controls both a toggle and touch, lists Homeplug as a wireless connection, and has conflicting descriptions of the timer. Confirm the selected set's exact sizing and operation before buying. The feature text says the remote is not included, despite a separate detail field listing a remote controller.
