I have this chandelier in my guest room.  I love the way it looks, and it doesn't look like cheap plastic.  As a matter of fact, unless you go up and touch it, you would never know it isn't glass.  The green is a soft mint green.  It gives a good amount of light.  I have led bulbs on it, which might be too bright for some people, but just change the bulbs to regular chandelier bulbs and that will lessen the amount of light.  I also got the pink one for my grand daughter and everyone loves it!  Hers was easy to hard wire.  Mine is plugged in and I just use the switch.
