These lamps are a good weight and height. The shades were easy to put together. The hoops have loop and hook all around the  outside edges that match up easily with the loop and hook on the upper and lower edges of the shades.  the cookie was darker than I expected and the shades more opaque than I expected, but nice for the nightstands with their small footprint and charging ports built into the base. The touch button easily adjusts the lamps bulb from lowmediumhighoff. Well pleased with my purchase.
