We purchased two of these lights and they look very much like the photo but are actually closer to an oil rubbed bronze versus a true black as we were expecting.  But they are very dark.  Minor rust was on the arms.  The hardware kit included had the wrong size washers for attaching the "arms" but we had some others on hand for installation.  Totally clear candelabra bulbs make a very sparkly pattern on the walls, which we did not want, so we used soft white LED bulbs that has the white base (with candelabra tip).  They look very beautiful and we are happy overall.
