I have the same style light with cluster of 3 green fixtures from Pot**Ba**. This is much nicer! Specifically, Green PB fixtures have a seam, these are seamless, and they have an iridescent finish that makes them appear as fine crystal.They have a smooth finish--PB is a hammered appearance that is difficult to clean/dust. The cords come all the same length so you can decided the height for each fixture, but they are too short for my 10' ceiling. Fortunately, the fixtures unscrew and the cord can easily be replaced with a longer cord. Cording that comes with the light seemed difficult to straighten. I replaced mine with rayon cording that doesn't kink. This light exceeded my expectations--it is beautiful. I'll admit it is a challenge to hang but as other reviewers mentioned...definitely worth it in the end.
