Beautiful lamps, the gold is a nice quality metal, the "stone" is nothing to write home about but overall they look gorgeous. The inside of the black shade is shiny chrome gold so when the sun shines in during the day it reflects and looks like the lamp is on (very pretty) and at night even with an LED bulb it shines a warmer colour which looks gorgeous. These are identical to the lamps available at home outfitters, pier 1, the bay, etc. so a good price for the quality, they actually had a tag saying they were from this manufacture which is funny because they're priced so much better. Shipping was the exact day as promised and they were packed super well.
