Just received my lamps today.  They will stay in the box until our house is built but we did check them out before boxing them back up.  The shades are a bit darker than anticipated but will still go fine in our new home.  If not, we can replace them.  Just beware, they are more light brown than they are ivory.  The first shipment got lost by FedEx so Wayfair quickly resolved the problem by sending the lamps again.  I received them in just 3 days.
