Fantastic light - it was easy to install for the most part. The most difficult part of installation was rotating the arms of the chandelier into the correct position. The light looked like the images presented, but like other customers noted it does have silver brushed onto the finial at the top and bottom of the light. I thought I would paint over it, but you really don't notice it once the light has been hung. My only recommendation is that the light be packaged a little better. The bottom finial was poking through the box at the time of delivery and all of the paint had been scraped off of it. Small touch up - but something that could be easily fixed with additional Bubble Cushion on that part of the packaging.
