These lamps are "good enough" to keep as a decorative accent, but not great. On the plus side, the size is good, and the glass surface is reflective. They cast a rosy glow. On the negative side, the glass is not a true pink -- it has a yellowish cast to it which I don't love. They are fairly light/cheaply made, and the finial is ugly. I'll be replacing that. They do come packaged very securely, and the cord emerges discreetly out the back. All in all, ok-ish.
