they are ok. Definitely more yellow than pictured. Shade is not bright white but has very faint grayish tint to it. Crystal/glass balls of the finials were for whatever reason provided separately in a bag (wth?). I gather they fell off the finials yet got packed anyway and now require being glued back on by ME.  Beyond odd. Of course, glue is not part of this package. Annoying development considering I paid full price for these lamps.  Disassembling and repacking everything for return is a hustle. Packaging included styrofoam that crumbled and spread everywhere.  Not happy with this purchase.
