Like several others have mentioned the color is not as shown.  It is much more shiny gold so any reference to distressing just isn't true.  If I decide I want distress I will have to do this with a faux paint process myself.  Thankfully the lamp isn't super expensive so I can try.  Also delivery was initially quoted as 2 days and on 2 occasions on the same day as the expected delivery I got rather late in the day emails stating delivery was delayed...no weather no truck strike no reason that made any sense just pretty much a blatant lie on when I would get the item.  Since this large lamp requires an electrical and a couple of guys with an extension ladder to hang it from a 20' loft ceiling its not so easy to just keep changing dates.  This was my first order from Wayfair and most likely my last as I will never believe the ship date they provide for starters.
