Absolutely perfect! Nice & heavy so they won't tip over easily. (We have a grandchild $ cat) The slate has a touch of green to the blue so it will blend well with dark blue's as well as sages, and greys. Very versatile. It also blends with the stone in our stone hearth & fireplace. The shades are well made & feel like suede. I've received lots of compliments on them and couldn't be more pleased.
