I ordered 2 of these shades (part of a larger order with various lamp shades that I wanted to consider for my 4 Uttermost buffet lamps. These linen drum shades arrived singly and well packed in sturdy cardboard boxes. The shades were well made and attractive. They looked better in person than the online pictures. I returned the shades because other items purchased better suited my buffet lamps. However, I have no reservations about recommending these shades.
