Absolutely love these lamps.  The denim lamp shades are not real dark like actual denim but do have a definite denim look about them as it matches my new plaid blue and creamy white chairs.  When the lamps are turned on,  the shades turn even lighter so they give off great light.  I did not want real tall lamps so these pair fit the bill for me.  These lamps add warmth to my decor and are stylish to fit into any type of decor.
