I received these lamps  and do like them but they are very dark, my husband thought they were black. The shades are really nice. The lamps are nice as well . They look just like they do in the  picture. They  are not big heavy lamps but of nice quality.There were some issues with two of the lamps put I called and spoke with a customer service representative named James. He could not have been nicer, he shipped out replacements and  I had them within a few days. I was very impressed with the response I received and the quick turn a round on the issue. They look good  in our family room. I will order again from Wayfair just because the customer service was so outstanding along with the product of course . Great customer service is hard to find and that is so important when you are buying on line!
