This fixture looks great installed, but it is not a very high quality product. It is made in China but what isn't made in China these days. The metal frame is fairly lightweight and not heavy duty. Although advertised as white it is not really white. I would call it off-white or maybe ivory. I had a couple issues during the installation that I managed to successfully resolve. The top plate that you screw the frame to was not perpendicular with the wall mounting plate. Maybe it got that way during shipment I don't know but I gently forced it into the correct position without breaking it. Also I needed a longer screw for one of the four screws that hold the bottom finial because one of the socket threads was stripped. Fortunately I had a white screw on hand that I could use. Anyway, as I said before, it looks great now that it's up. Time will tell how it holds up.
