We ordered this in brass and although the chandelier itself is nice the color was anything but brass.  The closest that I can describe it is that fake mustard gold you see on toys for kids.  Some pics I saw make it look like brass and maybe the color was just a fluke on ours.  Outside of the color, which we ended up having to paint a gold leaf metallic, it's well made for the price.  There are about 160 crystals to unpackaged and hang but looks very nice when done.  They are glass and will break if they drop so make sure the hooks are well seated in the holes.
