I love the look of this in the pictures and the glass globes are really pretty in person. However, this light is cheap, cheap, cheap. The "brass" is not a pretty color. I don't think you can even call it brass. Its a dull, dark, paint that was applied. Its more brownish/green than anything.  The strings that the lights hang from remind me of a phone charger.  I returned this as quickly as it came.
