This is a very nice item for the price. The amber glass is the nicest part and doesn't look cheap like I was worried about. As for the metal rim, it is a painted on faux finish. It may look a little cheap from up close, but once it is installed on the ceiling you can't tell the difference between this and a slightly more expensive fixture. Definitely a good deal overall.

I purchased the Berkshire chandelier also, and thought perhaps I got the wrong model, because it was GRAY and not brown/black in color. However, it seems Hardware House's oil-rubbed bronze is GRAY w/ COPPER ACCENTS, because the metal parts of this fixture is also gray.

Overall, I still think this is a great value...since it can easily be remedied with a few coats of spray paint. It'll be pretty hard to find a more decent-looking flush mount ceiling fixture for $18 and some change...and it qualifies for free shipping!

we bought this light for $18ish and it is worth the money. It was well represented on the website and exactly what we expected and wanted. It was relatively easy to install and it is not particularly remarkable which is what we were looking for.

We bought this light to replace an old lighting fixture on the hallway ceiling and are very happy with it. The price is right and the quality is good. No issue with the color like some of the other reviewers stated. We also purchased the double sconce light for the hallway and two pendant lights for the kitchen from the same collection and are equally happy with them. An electrician installed all the lights with no problem. Highly recommend.

I love this lamp style and lamp. I bought two of these for my walk-in closet. For the most part, the quality is very good. But - the threaded stem that holds on the lens is not long enough, And - the little threaded sphere that goes on the end of the threaded stem was pretty much stripped out when received. It was necessary to buy longer stems and cut them on a band saw to get them long enough. Since I could not find alternate decorative thumb screws to replace the spherical one, I had to glue slim threaded nuts on the bottom of mine so the lense would not fall off the fixture. If I did not like this fixture so well I would have just thrown them in the trash and went to local lamp store and bought something else. These lamps get 5 stars for looks and style.

We live in a log house, which we are in the process of updating to sell. This fixture looks very nice, and as someone else said, once on the ceiling, you do not see any quality problems. We have another light in the line, which we particularly like (pendant). Also, ours is bronze, exactly what we ordered.

I havent had it installed yet, but it is a very nice lamp and I may go back and buy some wall lights to go with it

Looks nice, easy to install.

Little darker than I had anticipated and very easy to leave paint marks on my textured white ceiling.

matches the chandiler I also bought and changed the look of my kitchen, dining area and hall way. cabinet hardware is also brushed bronze

Purchased this last summer and it seems the button that you twist off has rusted! Had very much difficult trying to twist it.. I am unsure why this happened. I like the style but would not purchase another.
