Ummmm, no - that's not actually what the item looks like. I wish, since that's why I bought it! Three main differences...first, you don't see that variation at all, it is as flat as a basic stainless steel appliance and has a much more 'reflective' look as opposed to being matte (as described). Second, the white part underneath (that sits flush against the wall) is totally visible in real life, especially if the sconce is placed at all above eye-level. Third, there are screws on either end that are the only thing your eye really notices when you're approaching from either side, like you do in a hallway. All of those things might be fine if you knew that's what you were getting, but not when the item pictured has none of those drawbacks! Look at the picture I've added here to see what this item actually is.
