It’s a transitional drum chandelier which matches our home. The gold is an antique brass see pic. It has an empty bottom on the bottom and that’s because it gives you the option to have the light on with or without middle light which gives additional lighting. See pic. The previous comment about being upset about looking up to see a hole in the middle of the light is because they didn’t realize it’s an additional bulb option. Personally worth the price, it’s definitely not worth the crazy price wayfair has as the original suggested price. Install wasn’t hard per my husband. Had it up in 30min with minor adjustments. Had compliments on it when we had guests over for turkey day.
