These lamps are absolutely gorgeous and seem to be of very high quality.  I am re-doing my house a little at a time, going with a "feminine glam" look--lots of sparkle and bling.  These lamps have both in a very tasteful way.  The polished nail heads on the bottom trims of the shades shine as much as the lamps themselves.  The only complaint I might have is the thickness of the shades, and how they block some of the light (I like lots and lots of light).
