While I like the general look and craftsmanship of this item, it is NOT the color advertised in the photo.  It is a very dark brass, nearly a bronze or almost a silver in some light.  I understand that it's called "elusive golden nickel" and therefore is a nickel, not a brass, but the color itself is incredibly deceiving in the online photo.  I ordered these hoping to at least somewhat match our brass light fixtures, and it doesn't even come close.
