I think the material is a regular paper not velvet.

This lamp is a beautiful statement! I ordered for my oversized bedroom night tables, but unfortunately... had to return. The outlet is European voltage and they arrive with a US adapter to convert to 120 Volt. I am noise sensitive, and noticed a buzz sound while they were on. They are also very light made out of plastic with a velvet strip cover, seemingly pricey for the material.

These are amazing. They are tall, modern yet airy. We are very pleased with these lamps!

I love these! I also have the larger version. They are great accent pieces. They are a little delicate, so I wouldn't recommend them as bed and side table lamps, but as decorative shelf lamps, they are fantastic. They look great at night!

Very unusual and great customer service!
