The positive: I like the lamp shades.  They are really pretty when the lamp is lit.
The negative: The lamp already had a broken socket liner in one of the ends upon receipt.  But rather than fuss with return I just made it work and will probably just end up crazy gluing it back together.  I also had mistakenly thought that I was getting a nickel colored lamp but that was my mistake, it is brass as it says in it's description, but I also fixed that with a can of spray paint.  So with some modification I would say this lamp will work out alright.
