After looking at thousands (yes, thousands) of lamps for the family room, I decided to give these a try. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised! The lamps worked perfectly! The shades were in perfect condition and I had no problem installing them. (as stated in other reviews) Wish I would have found these sooner!! The color is an antique silver/gold. The shades are a nice cool white. Looks just like the picture. The price was perfect!!!!!  for two lamps, you can't beat it!!!!!
