I was sent the wrong color lamps (I ordered clear glass), however, I decided to keep them after opening the box.  I was quite surprised how much I liked the blue color.  I feel like the color goes well in my room and gives some depth against the dark wood of my nightstand.  I love the fact that there are two lamps, what a deal!  The shades are round and are a little modern in my opinion and are a bright crisp white color.  Very pleased with my latest Wayfair Order!
