I order alot online, and am thrilled when something meets or exceeds my expectations, which these lamps certainly did.  Heavy, beautiful, very well packaged.....they look gorgeous.  I recommend them for sure and would buy them again.   (Only possible problem for some people might be that the slate, being natural, varies between the lamps.  I'm using two on either side of a sofa and I LOVE that their coloring is different - one has more coppery/rust tones in addition to the grey, while the other is mostly grey - , but if precise matching matters to your situation, you might want to be aware.)
