The lamps did come on time and the color, Marine Blue, was very pretty.  The lamps are not however 30" tall!  They are 26" to top of shade and then maybe an inch added for finial.  I also have to agree with another reviewer that said the bright gold on base, finial, and harp don't look as good as a brushed nickel would.  If they had been 30" however I might have overlooked the gold but I really needed a true 30".
