These lamps are very stylish. I got them to go with the Lancaster Panel Configurable Bedroom Set, because the stand shape accents the faces on the night chests well. They are a good size lamp and work well. My only reason for giving 4 stars is that I assumed they were made of wood. They are matte black plastic, that gives the appearance of painted wood. Because they are plastic there are some small imperfections in them. I still love them , but a little pricey for plastic.
