These lamps are beautiful and very well made. I loved the design of them so much that I placed an order for them before realizing they matched absolutely nothing in my house. I am minimizing clutter and keeping everything simple. These are far from simple. They are still beautiful and high quality, but they are very girly and I am not. Those pretty frills would collect dust, and I don't dust either. I was going to return them, but a friend who also loved them, is taking them for a wedding present. I really hate to part with them.
