So far so good.  I rubbed the chrome finish and then resprayed the fixture an amber bronze color in order to match my curtain rods.  Very pretty.  I only had one shell that was broken, but they give you a bunch of extras so it wasn't a big deal to change it out.  Now, I had the light installed and it took him forever to get it in (I'm thinking that was related to his inexperience)....I was the one that hung the shells and that does take about an hour, just an fyi.
