This was what I expected, but it was a little frustrating to attach the shades, as one if the metal rings is not as fully formed as the other two, and there was some chipping of the outer part of the socket that the metal rings screw onto. 
This is the third fixture I have tried because I have a small space in a fairly compact bathroom, and the others were too large; they looked smaller prior to opening the boxes. This one's a keeper!
