A beautiful light. The fixture was packaged very well, it is solid with a beautiful finish. We bought the brass which is a very subtle almost matt finish...not shiny brassy. We found that the smaller size, regular base LED bulbs work wonderfully well. Make sure you buy LED bulbs that are dimmable and can be used in a closed globe. We love the brightness of the output of 5 arms, however the dimmer is great to have as well.
