These are basic but stylish and well made. The photos appear to be mixed up because brushed nickel is represented as shiny, when really it's matte. Because of this, I accidentally ordered the wrong finish. These are going in a grouping with other lights and I guess it will be okay. Still, mix ups like this make buying on-line more difficult and I would have rather ordered correctly. One of the shades has a noticeable air bubble in it, just one. The other shade has none. If there were air bubbles all over, it would appear to be on purpose but just one looks like a flaw. I don't think it will stand out too much, but someone else might be bothered by it so I thought I should mention it.

Pros: Nice medium size, sturdy glass, attractive design, prompt shipping, well packed
Cons: Photo of brushed nickel finish appears shiny but is actually matte (accuracy is helpful!), one shade has an air bubble in the glass
