I received this in the mail (brushed metal) and it had flaws. I had to buff off what seemed like burned on hair and the inside of the shade looked like it had rusting. I was expecting it to be higher and have a longer arch however that’s my fault for not measuring. Once I got most of the flaws off and set it up, it’s quite beautiful. I would recommend this for over a chair or maybe in an office. I have mine over my sectional.
