Where to start. Arrived well packaged. Glad I didn't order the light bulbs that were suggested as they were a bayonet type & they need Edision screw type. The base is a cream colour & the shades are more white. They would look much better if the tone of the shade matched the base better. You need to fluff around to get the shade to sit square on the base. One leant forward & the other leant to the left. I had to apply a bit of pressure to the frame to get them level which I was hesitant to do in case I broke the frame. The square nut on the top that secures to shade to the base needs to be fiddled with so the "lines" match up. They are OK, but for what I paid, I expected a little better.
