LOVE these lamps. These are exactly what we were looking for. I wanted tall thin lamps that were shades of white but mostly bright white. I saw some reviews saying that they were off-white which made me a little nervous. The shade does have some beige tones in it when its lit, but when its not its white. It may just depend on the bulb you have. I would highly recommend if you are looking for this style and I would definitely purchase again.
