Quality and condition of lamps were not an issue. I ordered the brown finish and brown shade. The lamps that arrived were the same shape and size as the one I ordered but the finish was giving more of a metal finish; shade was a dark cream color not brown. I needed these lamps and they worked well enough in my room so I didn't return them. I really want people to know that if the manufacture is different , the product might be close but not exactly what is pictured or described.
