I love these!!  I had the ugliest bedside lamps in our guest room (my husband brought them home).  It even looks like they have a place to plug-in devices although I haven't tried it yet.  I have been looking for lamps for a couple years but the ones I liked were SO expensive.  These are a reasonable price, they look amazing and aren't cheap!  I put them together myself and it was so easy!!   I couldn't decide if I wanted the nickel or gold... I chose the nickel but at some point I may get the gold also!  HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
