On a positive note, this fixture has great lines, and if you don't look too close and it's up above things, it looks good.  Here was my experience with it.  Two of the gold metal bases were bent, one badly.  I managed to bend them back with pliers taped up with duct tape to avoid damaging the surface.  Still, the paint on them is extremely fragile and flaked off immediately.  Also, the black paint on one of the arms was applied too thinly so it's not as black as the rest when seen from above.  Luckily no one can see the top of this fixture.  Finally, the bend in one of the arms where the candle attaches is not acute enough, so the candle doesn't stand erect like the rest of them.  And there's no way to bend your way out of that situation.  If it weren't such as hassle to re-box it and send it back, I would have.  Like I said, it's a nice looking fixture, but the quality is pretty pathetic.
