I spent a lot of time looking for flush/ semi-flush mount lights for our entry and hallway.  I purchased two of these and they are exactly as pictured.  We wanted more light then what an Edison bulb would give off, so we put round clear glass 60 w bulbs in and they look great!  The one light did arrive with a slight imperfection in the paint, however it's not at all noticeable when hung up (I could only see it when I first un-boxed them and was looking at them up close).  My husband commented on how nice the mounting hardware was that came with it and he was able to install them very quickly and easily.  Overall, a great purchase!
