Love the lamps, look really nice, and like the rectangular shades. Instructions were a little hard to follow (give me words any day over pictures instructions) In picture looked like had to turn to the left to attach light socket to lamp, That is the way the arrow was pointing. I could not get them attached, husband decided to have a go and he never reads instructions, went together no problem as he turned to the right. So after that I ignored the directions and went with what made sense.
