These are beautiful and worth the price.  Well-packed and arrived early.  The brushed nickel set has shades that appear whiter than some other reviewers stated but maybe not bright white.  Designed for a 3 way bulb not to exceed 100 Watts. They arrive wired with the harp saddles attached but the whole bulb base must be screwed on - while not twisting the wire. Scratched my head at that one until my husband explained that the trick is to feed a bit of extra cord out of the top, carefully "back twist" the wire in the opposite direction, then screw on the bulb assembly - which releases the tension and keep from twisting the cord down inside the lamp. It worked.
