Overall I'm satisfied with the lamps. They are unique and add an interesting element to my bedroom where I use them on bed side tables. They provide an abundance of light and look great when illuminated. There is one issue that I am not satisfied with: the lamps arrived out of square. In other words they were crooked. The supporting arm was at a slight angle to the base on both lamps and on one lamp the upright leaned. With a little coaxing, a bit of pressure and a couple of choice words I got them to look mostly like they should. Although still not perfect. Also be aware that the shades are not true white but more of an ivory. Almost antique glass. One last thing to be aware of these lamps are T A L L.
