It's beautiful although I did have to restring two of the crystal strands. They must have come undone in the shipping.  It wasn't a big issue, but it did take some time to fix. It's also not as gold as shown, but I remedied that by spray-painting the piece before we hung it.  It's stately and fits the room perfectly. Overall I really love it.  It's perfect if you're looking for mid-century elegance without breaking the bank.
