LOVE the purple lamps! The color is wonderful and they are the right size for my larger room. I was looking for something tall and bold, these fit that just right. The shades are perfect and have a nice texture to them. The only thing that could have been better is the length of cord. I have an under the couch in-floor plug and the cords are not long enough to reach  to the center of the couch. So I'm going to have to use extension cords.
