Personally, I don’t think these lamps need any improvement.  They are absolutely beautiful no, they are gorgeous and very strikingly classy.  The black lampshades set off the crystal lamp bases.  They make a big statement when it comes to decor.  The lamps add the classy touch to a nightstand or dresser.  Because the base of the lamps are clear, they give a clean, uncluttered feature to any room.  I would purchase them again in a heartbeat.  I love them they are very stunning!
