I really like the style of these lamps however, the quality left a lot to be desired.  The pull chains are very hard to pull and you have to hold onto the light to pull the chain.  There is a plastic grommet that is supposed to help with this, but they do not stay put.  In addition, the lamps screw together for assembly and the threads were stripped on one of the lamps.  I was offered 20% off to keep them, which I accepted since they would be a huge hassle to repack and send back.  They still look pretty and I will apply some work to them and they will be fine.  Totally not worth $50 a piece.  (more like $25).
