I read the reviews so understood the size. It’s actually the perfect size for the corner we needed it for. The copper was the color I expected. The gloves are funny but a nice thought for not getting finger prints on globe when attaching it. But it was slippery to use and globe didn’t seem to care in flush on all sides. I didn’t really pay attention to the fact the cord is black. I wish it were white so when I attach it to the wall near the baseboards it would blend in. And it would be less noticeable on the ceiling. Maybe we could do better with how we attached it to ceiling but it looks messy.
