Excellent design and quality. I bought this pair to go in two different rooms. Love the sleek shape of the base and gold color, which can go with traditional or modern decor. The shade is a clean white (not beige or ivory) and has a subtle linen texture.  In these pics, I used 40 watt bulbs, which softens the white shades a bit. The lamps assembled easily in 10 minutes. 

Now for the shipping. A truck could run over the box and no damage would occur. These lamps were packaged so tightly in styrofoam and plastic that it took two of us with knife and scissors to unbox everything. Whoever designed the packaging of 2 bases and 2 shades in a single sturdy box gets an A in engineering. It does make a styrofoam mess so have a broom ready. 

In all very happy with purchase and highly recommend.
