We needed several lamps for different spaces in our home. The "3 Piece Table and Floor Lamp Set" looked versatile enough to serve as both reading and accent lights and the sale price was excellent. The 3 lamps and their shades were well packed within in a single larger box. Assembly was straight forward and all 3 lamps stand sturdily on their bases. *Our lamps have black bases and tan shades, which are very neutral, but the shades are dark enough to block a considerable amount of light. For the reading lamps, I've switched to white shades, the accent light is fine as is. These were a good buy, seem sturdy, shipping was fast and free. Thanks, Wayfair!  *(If you prefer white shades, this set comes in another color combination. That choice was not on sale when I purchased these.)
