Great lamps! The lamp bases much more expensive than they actually are. Love the convenient usb ports! The shades require assembly, FYI. Ive never seen that before. The fabric for the shades has Velcro in strategic places, and you carefully position it over the top and bottom rims of the frames and secure with the Velcro. I will swap these DIY shades for proper store-bought shades, but theyre fine for now.
