We are very happy with our purchase of this 5 light chandelier. The beads are gray and white as previous described in reviews. My only disappointment is that the candlestick plastic covers are off white/cream. I wish they were white because they would match the chandelier bead colors better. I have written this manufacturer to ask if they have white candles stick covers and I'm waiting to hear back from them. The chandelier is still pretty and when lit you don't see the off white color. It is a big chandelier so make sure you measure and make sure it is not too large for the space and ceiling height.
