Love these lamps!  I too have mirrored end tables, so thought that these would be an excellent choice.  The light from the lamps reflect off the tables giving the room a soft glow.  The lamp shades are snow white, however, when you turn the lights on, they become a soft ivory color - again adding a warm soft glow to the room.  Lastly the pull chains and the weight of these lamps give the impression that you spent A LOT of money on them.  These lamps are most certainly worth every penny I spent on them.  BTY - almost forgot to mention that I ordered these lamps during the holidays and got them within 2 days.  Good Deal!
