These lamps were a little disappointing. It was incredibly difficult to feed the extra wire into the lamp to allow the top part to screw onto the base. We finally had to shove and coil some of the extra into the base which it specified to not twist the wire but it was the only way to get the top to where it could be screwed on. And the lamp shade is a dark beige and not the linen white I was expecting. The lamp itself is great quality and the seeded glass is beautiful.
