Beautiful for an entryway light! It is larger than I expected but thankfully so. It is a true black metal finish and only took under 20 minutes to install. I'm giving it a 4 because the glass was tricky to put in and it hasn't been the easiest to clean the fingerprints and packaging off of the glass. Windex doesn't seem to do very well, but on the other hand, I might be a tish OCD. Overall, I get lots of compliments on it and it's a beautiful modern/farmhouse piece.
