an area was chipped under the middle leafing, i filled with putty and had a stain, which worked great. normally i would not do this, but the piece sat unopened for a period of time. the arms are adjustable as the leafing, and you can add small shades. the price, scale, and design is on point. very happy. thank you
note to buyers: this chandelier is huge, i personally would not purchase this for a small space.
