one of the sconces was bent for the candle holder.  It wasn't during shipping but was obviously manufactured that way. My husband was able to bend it back to a shape that is acceptable. Also, I had contacted Wayfair for a more complete color description. They said it had a brown color.  That is not true.  It is black with a little (very little) gold flecking.  Overall, I am not very happy with this purchase but I will keep it since it was able to be bent into shape and I will just paint it the brown that I expected rather  go through the hassle of returning.
