There is not one thing I dislike about this chandelier or any other piece in the collection. The finish is a lovely bronzy gold with good depth. The style is classic and timeless, yet unusual. The little glass ball at the bottom is a darling punctuation mark. The soft white shade does not change the color of the light in the room. Love love love! Bear in mind, this thing is MASSIVE~ what a great statement!. Elizabeth. Ballwin, MO. Mon Oct 20 2014
