I will start with the positive first. These are very pretty lamps and work great in my bedroom! The negative part of my review was the packaging. By the time I finished unpacking these, I had to vacuum my entire living room, as there was so much  foam flying around. The amount of tape wound around the foam, and how hard it was to get the lamps out of it, was ridiculous. If you don't mind the initial mess, you will be happy with these. And also, don't forget, you have to put the shades together yourself. It's not hard though.
