Very pretty, interesting, and well made (except I did expect them to be a bit heavier). I have cats who like to rub on lamp shades, so was worried about the black showing fur. Not a problem! The shades also stay in place well, which is great. I’ve had other lamps with oval shades, which  I had to be constantly adjusting (not an issue with round shades).  While it does clearly state that it’s silver, the photos (and many reviewers) indicated the lamp took on more of a gold tint, which is what I was hoping for. While this is somewhat the case, I was pretty disappointed at first because they are obviously silver. However, they have grown on me, and I think I like the bit of contrast they provide. These lamps are well-made, a great value, and add a nice touch to my living room!
