The chrome metal on the plate and light sockets is very nice and sturdy and the shades are beautiful.  Love the style!  They were just what we were looking for! We are building and haven't had the lighting put up by the electrician yet so we don't have a picture, I anticipate that the lights will look just as good over the vanities as they do looking at them in and out of the box.  We are very happy with this purchase.
