I read the reviews on this soap pump. I was not sure I should order, but thought how bad can it be....it's bad. The base is a muted, somewhat shiny, not a good color brass and the top is a shiny bright brass. It is a completely different color that looks terrible and cheap. DO NOT BUY!! And then to top of the fact that it will not work, they are charging me Over $9.00 to send it back. More to send it back them I will receive in a refund!! UGG!!
