The light, once up, is quite nice to look at. We needed a shorter rod so we cut it and re-tapped the thread, then shortened the chains that hold the drum. Perfect height now. But, for the money spent I'd expect not to find brush hairs imbedded in the finish. The antique look is somewhat of a golden strie over silver, producing a nice champagne color. I found at least 5 brush fibers embedded in the finish. Not a big deal, but for the price not really acceptable. The light is produces is perfect however, particularly with the recommended bulbs at 2700K. You could probably go to 3000K before the light would start to look harsh.
