I love my new lamps and lamp shades, but was very leary about the purchase because I could not get a picture of what they would look like online. It's hard to purchase something you can't see. Neither lamp stood perfectly straight, so I had to put a shim under each one. The shades are gorgeous. Overall, I'm pleased with the product and would recommend them to others. All the comments I have received from friends have been very positive. They are perfect for a mountain home.
