I purchased the pastel yellow lamps. Great value and durable finish. The shade & base is beautiful and look more expensive than the cost. The white shade ( 40 watt light bulb ) give off enough light to illuminate my entire 16x17 sf. living room pretty well. My only 2 concerns are the the shades. 1. The shades had a few crease marks from not being properly packed for shipment and 2. The seam is visual on one side, so I had to turn the shade seam away from people's viewing. Other than those small issues, I must say that I would recommend to a friend.
