Mainstays 12.75 in Glass Table Lamp vs CCMAOLU Olive Green Velvet Fringe Lampshade

The Mainstays is a complete, plug-in lamp: glass base, linen shade, push switch, 5 ft cord. The CCMAOLU listing is a lampshade, not a lamp, so it cannot light a room on its own. For anyone furnishing a nightstand or desk, the Mainstays is the practical buy. The CCMAOLU only makes sense as a decorative shade swap for an existing small lamp, and its fringe-trim Victorian look is a narrow taste.

• Choose the Mainstays if you want a ready-to-use accent lamp for a table, desk or nightstand and you don't mind buying a bulb separately.
• Choose the CCMAOLU if you already own a small lamp and want a soft olive velvet bell shade with fringe trim for a retro or Victorian room.
