We like the appearance of these lamps. They give a "bright, fresh, neutral look" to the room. However, dissapointed with the quality as the light fixture posts are off-set from the very top of the lamp base. They are both crooked and takes some adjusting with the lamp shades to "square-them-up". The shades are also "cheap". They both  have creases on the inside liner and one actually has an 1 1/2" cut in the liner. All in all I guess that's what you get for less than $50 each.
