I ordered these matching lamps to place beside our bed.  The size and color are perfect.  They are tall enough to give light to read by but not so tall as to make them hard to reach from bed.  One of the lamps is not straight.  The center pole/post came slightly bent.  One of the lamp shades has a mark on it that appears to be a discoloration from manufacturing.  I can live with both.  My husband bent the lamp so it is more straight and I put the flawed part of the shade to the wall.  No one but me and my husband will ever look close enough to notice.  I thought the lamps were a good price.  They arrived quickly and were easy to put together.  I like the silver/crystal combination.  They are elegant and blend well with my decor.  Really glad to have found them and I would buy them again.
