I really love these lamps. I purchased them in black and immediately placed them on the wonderful “small chests” also purchased from Wayfair..I only made one mistake which was that I thought the shades were too large for the lamps and therefore, ordered different shades for the lamps BUT, after just leaving them in place for a week, I’ve changed my mind!! The shades ARE the right ones for these lamps...they are suited to the lamps and so now, I will have to return the “replacement” ones I ordered in haste...I am sure Wayfair will be very accommodating, as per usual...
