Overall, the sconces look good.  (I purchased two sconces, both granite finish.)  I wasn't thrilled about the fact that the sconces are plastic as I would have preferred glass, but they don't look cheap unless you're only a few inches away.  I purchased the sconces to go on either side of the tv, and they provide just enough ambient lighting for watching movies in the near-dark.  The only issues I encountered were (1) it was difficult getting the batteries in one of the sconces but not the other, and (2) one sconce shines slightly more brightly than the other.  So far (I've only had them up one day), I'm really liking them.  We'll see how long the batteries last...  They're adequate for apartment-living.
