Overall, we really like this pendant! We ordered 3 to go over our enormous kitchen table, and they seem like a solid, budget friendly option. The brass does have a tiny hint of a "weathered"/feathered look to it, but not off-putting. The inside of the domes are not brass, as many have mentioned...they are just painted a gold color, but the contrast isn't enough that it would draw your eye, in my opinion. I'll try to remember to post a photo when we have them installed!
