Arrived intact and looks just like the picture.  I purchased the middle-sized version and it looks PERFECT illuminating our stairwell.  Prior to this fixture we had a single bulb fixture, pretty but no where near enough light on the stairs.  My DH (Darling Husband) installed this one with a dimmer, and there was no "deception factor", it went as he thought it would.  The bronze fittings pair with the bronze accents in the loft and stairwell too.
