This is a very beautiful fixture for the price and fits our modern/rustic dining room perfectly. As others have noted the wood is a darker color, which I wanted. Also, it is square even though the pictures make it look rectangle. It makes a very dramatic statement and looks really expensive. The only issue that keeps me from giving it a 5 is that it always looks a little crooked and we have not figured out how to resolve that. This is our fist square fixture, so that may have something to do with it. Round or tiered can be a little unbalanced and you wouldn't notice. With the straight lines, the very slight unevenness really shows. That said, I'm still super happy with this purchase.
