I was very happy with the looks and quality of this lighting fixture.  One ordering choice is oil rubbed finish.  I purchased the oil rubbed finish, but it really is more of a matte, black finish.  It is way darker than any other oil rubbed finishes that I have on other things.  Even still, since I also have a lot of black, it still works well.  The globe part is a nice white finish verses an off white.  It can accommodate 2, 100 watt bulbs.  We have installed it in the foyer and went with 2, 40 watt bulbs for a softer light.  I really like it.
