I read all the reviews before buying this and could not agree more, this piece is just outstanding and priced way fairly! I was going to plan on spray painting silver like another reviewer did, but when it arrived, the gold tone was so soft and elegant that I ended up leaving it as is! We hung it yesterday on our lanai and when I got up this morning, that was the first thing I looked at. A striking piece indeed, very pleased with this. Deborah- Ocala, FL
