The lamps are beautiful.  I initially bought them thinking that maybe I could use them for the living room, but they are too small.  Instead they became my bedroom lamps and they are perfect - they give the bedroom a very nice look.  The only thing I don't like are the top screws that tighten the shade to the lamps - they are whit knobs that really doesn't go with the lamps - that's just me knit picking.  Great lamps overall.
