The lamps are beautiful, but the shades - not so much!!!!  They are not at all what they were advertised.  The description said, "white silk like fabric".  They are NOT white; the fabric is very hard to describe; it looks like a burlap-like pattern background behind a silver glitter-y (yes, glitter-y lame-like) fabric shade that is not attractive.  It is gaudy, and cheap looking.  I am keeping the lamps and trying to find plain white drum shades like these should have been. However, the cost of shades is far higher than I expected.  I called right away and explained the situation, and was very pleased with the helpfulness of the rep who offered a discount, which I appreciate very much. However, it turns out it doesn't cover one replacement shade. So, I would not buy this lamp set again.  I've spent hours trying to find an affordable replacement shades.  Disappointing purchase.
