The lamps are supposed to be tri-light lamps; 3 different settings of illumination. Both lamps came defective in this regard. Other than that, the lamps were in good shape, not damaged and looked nice. Wayfair was awesome though and have sent me a replacement set at no cost and no fuss. I have not opened them yet to see if they are in proper working order. Quality could be better, as both were defective (coincidence??) but they weren't expensive either.
