I love these pendant lights.  I needed something dramatic with the brass look to provide some eye candy for my black and white dining room.  The color is spray painted on (except for the canopy) which isn’t really an issue for me.  At this price point..it’s perfect!!  Please note though..with my 8 foot ceilings..I ended up using a ton of electrical tape to bind up the excess cord length into bundles inside the canopy and then tried to tape the bundles down to the canopy itself so we could more easily mount it (wish I had taken a picture of that).  That part was annoying but again..price point..mmkay
