I love the bases of the lamps but I am very unhappy with the shades. It did not say in the description that I would putting the shades together. The description does say assembly is required but does not state it is the shades that will need to assembled. I now have to buy new shades for my client because you can see the clips when the light is on and also 3 clips snapped when I assembled them and she is not happy with the shades at all.
