These lamps are lovely, especially for the price. Quality shade, beautiful base; match the photo and description well. They look terrific in our bedroom and give off nice light. The packaging was so great, these lamps could have gone down Niagara Falls and still arrived in perfect condition-and they were delivered in 2 days! I was pleased that they take regular light bulbs (not included) unlike some other lamps that require those weird little expensive ones. We are very happy with this purchase.
