The lamps look even better in person. Pictures really do not do it justice. The price is fair for the product received. I was worried I wouldn’t like the lamp shades but the quality is great and I love them. The lamps were packed securely and designed for easy unpacking. The cords are covered in a fabric and I find it creates a softer look unlike harsh plastic covered cords. The bottom of the lamp is line in a nice velvet fabric, also a classy touch. The lamps are gorgeous and I am happy with my purchase and will be purchasing from her line in the near future.
