Very happy with this purchase! Packaged well, easy to put together and the shipping was super fast! Ordered on Wednesday at 1pm and had them by Saturday at 10am. The shades are a lighter gray then expended but still nice. The entire lamp is very lightweight, I prefer a little heavier so I know it's less likely to get knocked over but it's still a great quality lamp for the price. When the light is on the shade illuminates a ivory/yellow color (even with bright white bulbs) but this isn't a deal breaker for me. Would recommend them!
