I was hesitant to spend so much money on a lamp I had not seen in person, but these lamps are perfect. The shipping is fast, assembly is the standard ad the harp and shade. They are tall lamps with a round shade, so they look great in a very large room. The material is substantial so they should for years to come. They look as pictured. The lamp requires 2 bulbs so it puts out a lot of light. The lamp is perfect for a formal living room. - it add a modern flare to a traditional room.
