I like these lamps.  There are a bit less substantial than I had expected.  There is no base to the lamps, just open glass.  One of the bulbs came broken, but I wasn't expecting to receive bulbs with the lamps so I didn't mind!  They give off a very nice light, and the shades are very pretty.  Very good looking lamps, perhaps not the quality of a more expensive version, but just right for the price.
