I am very happy with my new lamps. They are very elegant looking and very sturdy. Nothing cheap looking about them. I love just pulling one cord and using the lamp as a nightlight. If I had one thing I would change it would be the medal ends of the pull chains. Classy looking but I think crystal or a look alike would look better. The lamps arrived in excellent condition. The thing my husband didn't like was that when he put them together, the last part had to be twisted on to tighten everything but it also twisted the wire inside which he didn't feel was a good thing.
