The little flat-head screw is easily visible, it's a shame it's silver, not gold. The hook feels solid and the backing for the wood is solid metal. 

From the 25 hooks we ordered there are a lot of little defects. Some have pronounced wood grain at the flat face, some have dents, the white wood cylinder isn't perfectly aligned to the gold metal. 

The color is definitely a shiny gold. Not brushed, not brass. 

Quality control aside they're great.
