The lamps are nice & looks like the picture. The lighting comes through like a medium amber color (to me). Very nice for evening ambiance when a bright light is not needed. They serve the purpose I intended them for. I would have given them 5 stars but there are small imperfections on the shades that you really can't see unless you're examining them up close & personal. It wasn't enough for me to send them back. People have complimented that they are very nice. They were packaged extremely well to avoid any travel damage & arrived quickly.
