I was going to order the (almost) exact chandelier from *** , but thought I would give this a try. I am delighted I did! I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and applied a coat of rub-n-buff and it really did make a difference - the metal was a bit dull prior to application. One thing I wasn't crazy about is that this chandelier leans more on the shabby chic design spectrum, of which I was trying to depart. It does, however, go with all of the new Serena & Lily home decor in our new home, so I am happy!
