I ordered this chandelier in the antique brass finish and it is gorgeous! The finish is perfectly understated and not at all bright or gaudy.  We had our electrician hang it as a semi-flush mount since our ceilings are only 10' tall and we didn't want to block the view of the TV. Since there are 10 light bulbs, the fixture is extremely bright (I jokingly call it the spaceship) a dimmer switch fixed that problem. The crystals and light are packaged extremely well, and every piece arrived safely.  Don't hesitate to purchase!
