I wanted chrome or polished steel lamps. Although these dont look horrible from a distance, I was a bit disappointed. They have a shine to them but its not like the chrome chandelier I was hoping to match. Not a mirror like finish. Instead it has a coating almost like a foil. There are slight wrinkles near the top of the base. Whatever you do, invest in a microfiber cloth. These can only be wiped off with a dry cloth. No cleansers , sprays and definitely dont get furniture polish on it. I wish I could give a better review. They really show finger prints.
