The lamps are of a good size and quality, however the base is not brushed silver, but more of a goldy pewter.  Looks o.k. and I will keep them.  The shade is more off white/cream and not bright white.  Shades are not the best quality, but the price of the lamp was very low, so I am o.k. with it.

Pros: packaged well, easy to assemble, height is good
Cons: not the same color as illustrated - more cream colored shade with goldy silver base
