These lamps were packaged well and arrived in a timely manner.  They were very easy to put together and best of all they look much more expensive than they cost.  They really add a touch of elegance to my dining room.  I thought the lampshade might be too gold, but they aren't and when lit they just look warm and glowing.  Even my husband said they looked amazing. The metal is a  dark bronze color and the stone accent adds just the right touch.  I would highly recommend you try these lamps.
