The glass is pretty-very thick and the color is true to the pics. However, the black copper metal is essentially black with just a tiny edge of copper color on the part that holds the light bulb. Not like the picture shows at al. Had to return due to that issue (didn’t want black) and also because the pendant was just too small for over my 8 ft island. (I bought 2 and the just looked tiny). But it’s a pretty piece for a smaller space.
