These are very pretty, but they are hollow castings, resin?  The base of one arrived completely broken off, not repairable.  I called, prepared to send the whole box back but I was told that a replacement lamp was being sent to me.  That made me happy, but it's been almost a month and no lamp.  If I had the pair, I'd raise my review to 4 stars.  The shades are much darker than they appear in the picture, but the shape and size look great with the base.  Works well on small night stands.

Pros: Looks nice, great price.
Cons: Fragile, not packed very well, shades are almost a burlap color, the top part wobbles with no way to tighten it up.
