Look exactly as pictured and described. They are substantial and heavy crystal that sparkles in the light.Modern, yet elegant and fun.The shades are a white cotton---like a muslin---not much texture, but definitely not silk. That adds to a slightly more casual look. I am using them as bedside tables in my guest room, paired with grey and rust colored bedding grey walls and headboard. They look terrific. Amazed at the squick peed of delivery ( I want to say a few 3 business days). Very happy

Pros: Well-made, fun, elegant, substantial, transitional modern, right height for bedside
Cons: None:Shade in cotton might be of more elegant material, but the cotton fits the casual, fun feel of the lamp
