I ordered this Lampshade in gray, I was unsure if it would be too dark so I also ordered it in the white w/brown trim. The gray is on the darker side, just enough to add accent to our room but not too much to block out the light. I put the 2 shade’s together, very easy, maybe 10mins to put both together. Now the downside, I have 2 Irish Crystal lamps that already have their own Spider Harps & Finial’s. When I went to attach the shades I found that I was unable to tighten the shade with the finials because the middle part of the shade was thick. The Shades were supposed include 2 spider harps which I decided I would just swap with the ones on my lights, problem solved. When I went to get them I realized that I never received any with my order. I checked my other box of shades and noticed that there were no harps in that box also. So I contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement for my Gray Shades. First I receive notification that my order has been delayed, but when I stepped out my front door later that afternoon I find a damaged box that had been patched up with clear packing tape. I open up the box, the 2 lights shades and hoop forms are not in their packaging, the shades were flat not rolled, and once again there were no harps to attach the shades to the lamps. The packaging was stuffed in the bottom of the box. It was apparent that this was a previously returned item and the seller never did a quality check of the items before shipping. To say that I’m disappointed is an understatement. I plan on keeping the shades, will just send back the replacement, and will just look for a harp that will work with my lamps. The only reason I gave this a 3 star is because I do like the lamps shades, I just am unhappy with everything else.
