I love, love , love these lamps. They go perfect with my Hawaii beachy vibe. I have windows with a strong wind and I am close to the ocean. Tried nautical with glass blew over and broke one. Also metals get tarnished and corroded. These are perfect no metal, no glass. I did change the shades on the lamp because my old ones were a burlap type material looks much better than the oversized white shades.
