I will say that the lamp itself is sturdy and nicely built, and very pretty, with one major exception... the shades. It is very hard to tell from the pictures exactly what the shades really look like. The way I pictured them is as a shaded glass. I’m sorry, but I thought the shades were so ugly I actually threw them away and put different ones on. They are very shiny. When the light is on, they look ok, but turn the light off and they look like a shiny silver or gold (as weird as that sounds), depending on the way the natural light hits them. I hope not to offend anyone, but this is simply not my style. If it is yours, as I said, the lamp is well made. It stands up straight, which oddly enough seems hard to find in a floor lamp. LED light bulbs are included. I felt I needed to review this item because I was hesitant to buy when I couldn’t read any reviews.
