"The is a very high quality product worth every dime you pay. Porcelain socket, brushed metal. Looks like and is heavy like stainless. Not sure what it’s made of but they are awesome.
Although designed for a basket lamp shade, I specifically wanted these because of the design and quality so I added a lamp harp to hold a tradition lamp shade.
This product also is designed as an always on socket so it can easily be controlled by Alexis, or in my case iDevices. You can also add your own switch on the lamp, lamp cord or used a switched outlet."
