The brass color does not look like the images shown at all. It is painted a flat dark brassy-brown color with no metallic. It looks cheap and is not appealing. Very misleading images shown. I have included pictures with a brass candlestick holder next to it for a true likeness to brass.
The style of the lamp is great, and I love the size. This color though - not pretty at all. Structurally if you have kids or even cats/dogs that run around your house be prepared - it is light and somewhat flimsy. I was going to return it but ended up putting it in a corner where the quality won't be noticed
