Looks exactly as pictured and was easy to install, with one caveat: the globe is very heavy, so you really need an extra hand to hold it while you screw the pieces on. Also, I don't know why I did not realize this, but the globe is open at the top. Bugs are going to love it, and I'll end up having to pull out a step ladder to gently vacuum inside the globe. But we needed 3 of something substantial to run along an open passageway in our main living area, and this was it.
