This is a beautiful and large drum chandelier.  As with others, the filter plexiglass like cover doesn't hang level.  I think if were real glass or something heavier than this plastic I would give it five stars.  I ordered the brushed silver and the shade is definitely beige with the silver threads running through it.  So if you are looking for a "gray" shade, this isn't it.  However, it is really a great fixture and gives off plenty of light.
