Lamps are a little bit lighter than I expected, but it works for what I needed it to and they lok quite nice (sorta an elegant retro sort of look that I can get behind; it seems like the sort of thing that you would see in a lawyer's office). The one downside that I will say is that the packaging foam inside the box that surrounds the lamps is the worst foam I have ever dealt with; it flakes off into a ton of pieces and is impossible to get off surfaces it floats towards. But otherwise, the lamps are a decent value for the price if you're looking for a more traditional design.
