The lamps are beautiful and I'm happy to have them. There are a few things that I don't like about them.  There is a lot of assembly required. Some of the pieces were bent or mishapened when the lamps arrived, easy to reshape though. And there are cylinders that cover the electrical components of each bulb socket which the directions say to screw in place, but there aren't any threads on them so they just sit there loosely.  And lastly, the on/off switch is on the cord which is somewhat inconvenient.  Despite the con list, I love the feminine, luxe , look that these lamps add to my bedroom.
