I have been searching for the perfect coastal contemporary table lamps for our living room, and I finally found them. They are very well-made, high quality lamps. Heavy/sturdy. Substantial enough for a large room with tall ceilings, yet the delicate color allows for the lamps to compliment the room instead of overwhelm it. The "trace" design reminds me of footsteps on the sand (like if you had a birds-eye view of the coastline of a busy beach). The shade has a lovely texture.
