"What the hell are finials"?
Forgive the curmudgeon for a rare moment of venting...finials, of course, are those decorative doohickies that replace the simple nut that attaches a lampshade to its lamp.
The curmudgeon, being an engineer by training, thought the nut perfectly satisfactory. Hah! Not so! Between finials and fancy silk-lined lampshades (thing 1: you are exposing silk to high heat; thing 2 you are making little spiders, probably in some asian sweat shop make lampshade interiors that will deteriorate within a year), the finials and lampshade ended up costing way more than the lamp itself
Bear in mind, the main purpose of a lamp is - light.
