These lamps are exactly as pictured and are perfect if you are looking for a narrow lamp that does not take up too much room.  The finish on the lamps gives a nice aged effect without looking shabby and I love the pull string to turn on and off the lamp.  I have these on my buffet table in the dining room.  They look great!  only takes a max of 40 watts which is enough to give off soft light but not very bright, which was what I was looking for.
