The lamps are beautiful, only I am disappointed that the blue is nothing like the picture.  Both lamps are very similar which is important since they are going on end tables. The height of  one lamp was off  by a 1/2 of inch and was noticeable when I put the shades on.  Problem solved by adding a washer when I place the top on the shade.  The packing was excellent. I was disappointed that I order these lamps  on labor day weekend to get the discount and free shipping and then 5 days later the price dropped another $5.00.
