These lamps are truly beautiful! The shades are such a lovely colour and they are the perfect height for beside my couch.   However.....the shades were extremely crooked out of the box.  Not just a little off but way off.  It took some work to get them level.  It was worth the time spent straightening them though as overall the lamps are exactly what I was looking for.  I'm not a fan of white shades so the natural color of the shade adds a really nice warmth to the light.
