Searched many retailers for lamps until I found these and I love them. Wanted slim lamps with an antique brass finish to coordinate with the latches on my furniture. Perfect match. The quality of the finish is good. The shades were off white and good quality. Once the lamp was assembled, which involved screwing the pole into the base and bulb holder it sat level as did the shade. The chain pull pleased my husband. He always complains about having to hunt up under a shade for the switch.  Overall, good product for a good price. Glad I took my time searching.
