This thing! Well. This is a waste of a bunch of time and money. (My son asked what it was.) I don’t know if it was meant to have a washer or anything but I could’ve worked that out. Could not unsquash the lovely bronze-like “shade.” I was able to get a dent out of the side, kinda. Unfortunately the finish is crackling apart and off where it was so squished as to be unrecognizable. So even if I could think of something strong enough to reshape it, it’s a total loss. Pros: Strong material! Led is to making lampshades out of bronze aluminum foil that’s meant to be used in the kitchen and is flame retardant, so like paper lamps but golden aluminum. And we’ll vFun Family Activity! Cons: MIT can’t even be recycled. And I just can’t bear another three hours on hold and the suggestion I pay more money to send it back?!? Moral of the story: Ok. No value judgments really, but first and last time THIS mama spends the grocery money on Eayfair (they didn’t honor the cash back shooing code either, so even more expensive than I realized.

I thought the black shades had yellow metal inside, but they are fully black. This actually turned to advantage as they reflect any color light bulb you put inside. They seem to work well with the wooden base and black power cords I had. The opening on the top is about 2 inches (it was not in the product detail)

Exactly what my pendant light needed! Gorgeous color!!

I had a tall repurposed fire hoze nozzle as a lamp and it needed a small sort of streamlined shade and this metal shade worked perfectly.

I love the color, but unfortunately it does not fit my lamp. I bought the wrong one. My fault.
