This light is darker in person than advertised. It has a pretty cool distressed look on the exterior, but the interior is just black. No metallic whatsoever. That was disappointing, but somewhat expected from the other reviews I had read before ordering. Fortunately, I had some gold leaf on hand so I added some sheen to the inside myself.  If you order this, expect inside the shade to be dull black. Otherwise, the wiring works, the shade material is metal, and all the parts are there. Shipping was fast, too (although I would have gladly waited a few extra days for them to paint the inside, as pictured).
