These are actually beautiful lamps. The reason I gave a 3 is because one of mine came with the switch broken off. Because they come very well packed, it took a while to get them out of the box and I really didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to re-pack and send back so I just kept it. I managed to get the switch to stay on, but the lamp is only a two way now. I'm sure Wayfair would have taken care of the problem but it's just too much trouble to send back.
