I was under the impression these lamps are a dark bronze.  Instead they are black (they do have a brown cord).  After putting them together, I did not think they were right for my room.  Floor lamp is only 5 feet high and the base of the table lamps is quite a bit thicker than the floor lamp.  However, after putting them in place, I thought they looked very good.  I really like the shades.  The lamps are made well and feel very solid.  I like the smoothness of the stands--they are easy to clean which is important to me because I have a fireplace that is used daily.

Pros: good price, high quality
Cons: floor lamp stands 5 ft tall.
