Love these lamps!

Packaging:  Both lamps come in one box.  Packed so well I had to cut the box down before removing the lamps.  
Color:  more of a brick red and the shade is bright white.  There is no exposed metal on this lamp.  The finial is even red
Size:  the slender design takes up less room on my nightstands but the height is just right for my head board 
Assembly:  took less than 10 minutes as all you have to do is install the harps and shade
Bonus:  comes with 2 warm white bulbs and the cord is made of a more durable woven material
