Wow! This chandelier is glamorous. The finish is perfect with it being mainly black there are medium brown streaks throughout it. So it wouldn’t matter if you are going with black or bronze finishes this will match. The way the chandelier was packaged was very helpful with the installation; which was simple. Plan on it taking a while with hanging the crystals because there are 96 long crystals and 76 spheres. The only negatives that I have were that the crystals were dingy( I cleaned mine with glass cleaner and a microfiber rag) and the crystals aren’t perfectly level with one another so I had to adjust some of them by either pinching the the clasp tighter or loosing them. It took some time to put it up but it was worth it!
