Wonderful light fixture! I was worried after reading some reviews that the light bar would be crooked, fortunately I did not have that issue. ( and as others stated, if it is crooked there is nothing you can do to bend it correctly so I can understand the disappointment as it would alter the fixture quite a bit and take away from it's simple yet stated style. ) There were some minor scratches on the fixture but nothing too harsh, and once hung you really can't see those flaws. Overall I recommend this fixture. I love it for it's simple and classic  appeal!
