Pooky you are Spot On. Really really lovely lampshades: a breath of fresh air and such a wide and delicious array of lampshades from which to choose. Pooky far exceeds anything else that's out there in choice and price. Beautifully made. Wide variety of colours, materials and styles. Prompt delivery and easy returns. I would however point out that not all straight empire shades are the same size/sit the same. My experience is that the straight empire black zig zing shade sits lower on the lamp than the empire shade In green block. A uniform size/sit for same size/style would be better.
