Im quite pleased with my lamps! They are interesting, chic and versatile. The black swirls are a inky bluish black  and the gold trim makes them look more expensive than they are.These lamps were sold out within a week when I first saw them here and I had to wait for them to be restocked. I almost bought from another site but didnt think I would beat Wayfair's price. Im glad I waited and Im overjoyed with my lamps.
