I just LOVE these.  Got them in the blue color, which actually has a hint of gray in it, which I love, so the color stays sophisticated, not like they belong in kid's room. (Plenty of options for that!)   You could never convince me they were NOT made of wood.  The finish on them is fantastic and does NOT look fake AT ALL.  They are well done. Nice weight to them too, they won't topple.   They just  have the perfect combo of being casual (due to the distressed finish) yet ever so slightly formal as to the form. Perfect.  I was extra pleased that they take 3 way bulbs, which i really wanted and is not easy to find at this price point.  The shades coordinate perfectly and have just the right amount of texture (not too much).  Last but not least, the matching finials just MAKE the entire thing.  IMO they are also the perfect size table lamp.  Not too big or small (at least for what i needed).  I LOVE these, and I don't see myself wanting to change them!  This was a GREAT value.
