These are lovely lamps are lovely ! The assembly was straight forward and didn’t require the instructions. The lampshade has a more beige colour tinge like a grass cloth but incredibly elegant. I would definitely purchase again. My husband noted the top cap where you screw the bulb in is plastic so you have to be careful not to over screw it but that’s the only surprise. The socket that houses the light bulb is lower grade quality as thin metal and loose so can’t over tighten. All said though, it looks outstanding and beautiful, love them!
