The fixture appears exactly as the illustration on line, and it matches the finish of other fixtures throughout the house nicely.  Parts seem well made.  Assembly was not difficult (I am an accomplished home improvement person and comfortable with electricity), and I like the range of pendant made possible by parts provided.  There could have been a bit more detailed advice about threading the power cord through the stem pieces, and there is no advice about choosing the final length of that cord, shorting it, stripping the leads, and so on.  I am OK with those tasks, but others might not be as comfortable.  Still getting used to light distribution and figuring out the best bulb to use for our breakfast nook installation.  Have installed a dimmer with fixture, paired with a dimmable LED.  All seems fine.  If I could give 4.5 stars, I probably would.
