We needed to complete our living room in a hurry, even if it was only temporary,  and since we are on an island, there weren't a lot of opportunities to see lamps before buying.  I ordered this set of lamps thinking they would probably be junky, but was pleasantly surprised!  Sturdy, good looking, great size.  The finish is great and the lamps fit perfectly with our décor.  They are keepers!!

Pros: value for money, good looking, minimal assembly
Cons: none
