The lamps look exactly like the photos on the site.  Some reviewers were put off by the fact that the shades are rolled up and have to be assembled on the frames, but this is easy to do and they look fine when finished. Some may have an issue with the velcro seam that holds the shades together if the lamps are in a location where they are viewed from all sides.  The 60W 3000K LED bulbs that came with the lamps were too bright and harsh for me, so I replaced with 40W 2700K bulbs and am pleased with the purchase.
