These are good sized lamps and they are very attractive.  They operate with a pull chain so easy if you are arthritic.  The pattern is pleasing.  I got the blue and it is more of a gray.  It blends very well with my charcoal gray couch.  I bought an open box item and the shades had some minor flaws but this would not be the case with a regular purchase as it would presumably be wrapped better.  I am pleased with my purchase.
