These lamps look so good in the photos, but the finish is not smooth and looks almost as though they were handled before the paint dried.  The shape of the lamp is fabulous and from a  distance, they look so pretty.  They are on my buffet so you are not ever seeing them from "a distance." The lampshades are handsome although one shade arrived dented.  I just spun it to the back because I was decorating quickly for a dinner party. Lol. I would not buy again based on what my lamps looked like.
