Over all this is a nice item, but it did not quite meet my expectations for three reasons. First, it is taller than I expected and there is no way for me to lower it (I can raise it but not lower it). Therefore, it makes my bedroom look a bit small. Second, I got the steel blue gray color and it was darker than I expected it to be (it seems darker in real life than in the photo). Third, the brass heads are not perfectly aligned in a row.
