These shades arrived in perfect condition.  They were replacements for damaged ones packaged with new lamps purchased from Wayfair, too.  As always Wayfair was a dream to work with and offered a partial refund for the damaged shades and I applied that refund toward these superior quality shades.  It can be very difficult to ship lampshades and I've seen many arrive dented and damaged over the years in the Interior Design field.  I held my breath and they were flawless.  I actually like these black shades much better than the ones that arrived with the original lamps.  You cannot beat the excellent service that Wayfair always offers.  From great pricing, quick shipping and then great follow-up should something be wrong with the order.  I LOVE WAYFAIR!
