Received these lamps yesterday. Very happy with them. They are a good solid weight and look great in my living room. On one of the shades is a small dark mark which I am not to happy about. It is in the front of the shade. I have tried to remove but still a little noticeable to my eye. I am not sure if I was going to request a new shade. I really love these lamps. Looking forward to receiving the co,umn floor lamp I ordered.
