It's very cute. You definitely don't see as much of it as shown in this picture unless you're as tall as your ceiling, haha. So the gold hardware isn't as prominent as I would've like. Also, the frosted glass doesn't fit in the base exactly, so there's some gapping in a few areas but nothing too noticeable. Overall, I'm really happy with this light fixture. Not sure it's worth the $230+ I paid for it, but it also doesn't bother me enough to return it. :)
