So, so cute -- the shade color is perfect for my house, the gold finish looks like real metal (but its not) and the design is just the right balance of whimsical and upscale. I bought a pair and wish that the cord ran from the back so I could turn them to face each other. Time will tell whether theyre sturdy and stable but I love them. Had trouble with one and Wayfair made it right asap -- really impressed with the customer service and speed of (free!) delivery.
