Bought this light for the dining area and the larger version for the foyer of our new home.  These are lovely and seem to be well constructed. The contractor had no issues with hanging.  The stain color on the wood is darker than it appears in the pictures and is very close to the color of the darker metal. Not bad, but the wood effect doesn't stand out quite as much as I would have liked. The fabric is also a little more sheer than in the picture.
