Great pendant lights, we actually got two of them in open box condition and both look and work perfectly. Color is a nice brushed brass look. We have 9 ceilings and I had to remove one of the longer sections of the downrod and shorten the wires to make them fit. Without removing that section they only hung 21 from the top of the counter and sat right at eye level. Once shortened they looked perfect! They are quite large, so be sure to check measurements before you buy so you get what youre looking for. I personally like the size. Fairly easy to install, however, would have been much easier and taken much less time with two people. I have had to pull on the downrod a bit one way or the other to get them to hang straight. Also, it may be worth noting to anyone who cares,, the inside of the lamp bowl is white, not gold.. All in all I would buy them again.
