It is very pretty, and the skinny arms make the black black black finish just right and not overpowering. Luckily, I have a little electrical experience, because you need to not only assemble it but wire it! The plastic casing on one broke in half vertically just from screwing in the bulb, but I just used electrical tape to hold it together again and the sleeve covers up that boo boo. That could be a sign of not being made well, but the rest (the metal) seems well made.
