This semi-flush mount chandelier fits perfectly in our foyer with 8' ceilings.  Once the fixture was hung it took 15 minutes to secure the beads to the frame.  The colors are true to the picture.  The body is bronze and the beads alternate between clear and a grayish brown.  The shadows it throws makes our 100 year old, imperfect, plaster ceilings look gorgeous while the 3 staggered candelabras add a  touch of elegance. The fixture is stunning and well worth its price.  Couldn't be happier with our purchase and the wonderful service we receive from this manufacturer.  Buying from them is a pleasure.
