Contrary to the reviews from other buyers, the finish on the fixture is NOT a high quality looking antique gold.  It has a cheap-looking gold finish - it looks worse when the light is off, and is slightly less noticeable when the light is on, but overall is very disappointing.  After my electrician mounted it we also noticed a flaw in the glass at the bottom - it is an air bubble the size and shape of a flax seed. I am undergoing an extensive renovation for my entire home and spent so long searching for the right style and shape for my second floor hallway that at this point I'm not switching it out, but wanted to provide an honest review.
