As I envisioned it to be...beautiful and a great value for the price.  Only thing is the finial is made of resin and the items delicate design will chip easily, too the rod and final were poorly lined up when screwed together.  This may have been a fault during packing which was not as good as could have been therefore have to wait for replacement of the item.  Otherwise was very satisfied with the speedy delivery and overall aesthetics of the piece. 

Pros: great value, beautiful
