The lamps are stylish, light weight, decorative and seemingly durable. The description states that the shade is white; It is not. It is a sand color and a woven style. That was a minor disappointment. I have not used them yet because I haven't located the type A 3-way bulbs. I am sure though that they will work fine. In my opinion the cost was a little high even though I purchased them as "Open Box" items.
