Lamps are beautiful but not the WOW factor I was hoping for from the picture.  The 29.75 height spec is deceiving as it includes the acrylic finial which is barely visible from a distance. Top of shade height is 27.5 inches from base bottom.  Also shade is much darker than pictured and more a medium gray/taupe rather than light beige as specified.  Still gorgeous and hoping I can make them work when the rest of my furniture arrives.
