Elegant!These are so classy. I was hesitant to spend this much for lampshades (I needed three); but it was money well spent. They add so much to the floor lamps I have. If you're iffy about purchasing them don't be - because they are well worth the money.

LIKE CINDERELLA'S SLIPPER!Perfect fit, lovely fabric, stunning in gray. Back in April -- yes, April! -- I purchased 2 gorgeous bedside table lamps and have been hunting for the perfect shade ever since. I purchased and returned (5) different shades before I found finally found these. Now Ballard's will always be my first stop for shades, their variety of sizes and shapes and their myriad fabric options is unrivalled.

This is a high quality lamp shade and I am very pleased with this purchase!I was debating between the linen shade and the gold silk, and I am SO pleased to have chosen the gold silk. It has beautiful natural imperfections which adds so much interest and the color is very rich.. It also gives off more light than I thought it would. I would highly recommend this product.

Beautiful and high quality lamp shade!This a gorgeous lamp shade and you had more choices of colors than anyone I could find. I bought the beautiful copper color which I couldn't find anywhere else. And looking locally, your prices beat them significantly. I am extremely pleased and plan to make more purchases from Ballard Designs.

this product is elegant and understated.The tapered drum lampshade in ivory linen is perfect for the lamp and the room it is in. It has the appearance of a far more expensive item than it actually was, that is very important to me. The service from Ballard was excellent, the packaging was adequate but minimal, and it arrived very quickly.

Just what the lamps needed!I purchased the gourd lamps several months ago. They came with white shades, which were ok, but I wanted something with some color. I had my eye on the burlap shades ever since getting my lamps. They are just what the lamps needed. The lamps are in my family room, which has an earthy design. The lamps fit right in and are beautiful. Well made. I am happy with my purchase and recommend them highly.

The quality of these shades enhances all the furnishings in our room.I always expect quality from Ballards, and we did get that in purchasing these shades. We were pleased with the color, but had hoped they would be a bit more tapered.

Perfect update for a treasured lamp.We are most pleased with this replacement lamp shade. The original lamp shade was damaged during a move and it was very difficult to find a replacement for it. The color, fabric and shape updated our heirloom lamp perfectly.

Sophisticated new gray silkI bought this shade to match several other previously purchased gray silk shades from Ballard. They all are wonderfully classic and sophisticated. Sometimes gray can be drab, but when my lamps are lit, the color becomes a soft silver sheen and adds a lot to my bedroom's ambience. The shades are excellent quality.

Drum shade in copper - gorgeous/looks very expensiveI looked everywhere for a drum shade for a beautiful lamp my grandfather made over 70 years ago from an antique brass fire extinguisher. Google offered a few (all in cream or black with "cheap"reviews). I went to a local shade shop and the price for a plain black was 100.00. My Ballard design catalog came and it was a dream come true. Drum shades "on sale" in fabulous colors. I ordered the copper. It Is gorgeous on this lamp. This shade truly looks as silky and expensive as the $100.00 I almost bought. Thanks Ballard Design. I only wish you had come up on my google search for drum shades.

Couture for Sure!I frequent Ballard Designs because I've fallen in love with burlap as a great way to introduce texture and interest throughout my home. Visitors consider it my decorating "signature." I was positively delighted by this lamp shade as an elegant addition to my guest bedroom. It is extremely well-made and, because it is lined (which most burlap shades are not), the light filters even more softly and beautifully. It does, indeed, appear a bit lighter in color, when compared to other unlined burlap pieces, but it is still a tonal match. It's beautiful!

Love it!I searched a long time to find a replacement shade for my floor lamp. I purchased the couture drum shade in burlap in the largest size. It has enough detail to add refinefinement to the burlap and give the juxtaposition I was looking for.
