Love everything about this light. It's gorgeous and adds a very cool modern touch to my victorian inspired breakfast nook. You can move the different segments a little - not a lot - but it's enough to create a unique shape. The brass is a bit brushed and looks great. The glass is thin so be careful, but you don't notice the thin glass once it's hanging. I used vintage inspired bulbs and they set the whole thing off. For the money, this is very good value.
