I love this beautiful chandelier....the only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is because the candle sleeves are more yellow looking and it makes them look sorta cheap (I have replacement sleeves on order). Others complained about that as well, seems like an easy fix for the manufacture, right ???? Anyway, when trying to decide if I should order this one or not,  I was torn because my home is mix of vintage/french country with a few modern pieces but this chandelier goes perfectly.  I feel like the overall color of the beads are a creamy  white (I was worried they'd be too gray and I don't have any gray but if you do it will go great). The metal and beads together really make it a very neutral piece. Lastly, someone questioned whether it would work on a 9 foot ceiling and customer service said "no"....I'm here to tell you my ceiling is 9 ft and it works just fine! I wouldn't hesitate purchasing this again. Go for it!!
