This really should be a 5, but one leaf came badly bent which created dents/creases in the metal. I should have exchanged it and know Great Offer Stock would have come through for me, but being at the end of a harrowing 6 month++ remodel, I was too tried to deal with it and just turned the crinkled leaf to the back wall! “What dent?”
Aside from that, it is lovely. The walls of that room are a delicately tinted rose off-white, so the fact that it is a bright pure white gave me some pause, but it is installed in a skylight (long story!) which provides some shadows, and the shadows do fun things with it; and it does match the ice white subway tile nearby, so I am not troubled. The manufacture did a good job of getting around the costly addition of authentic crystal on the large teardrop fobs by paring them to tiny faceted octagonal spectral strands, so though the large drops don’t seem to give off any (or much) color of their own, they trap and enlarge the color form the adjacent small beads and it deceives into thinking it is the drops that are actually producing the color. I MAY sport at some point for true leaded crystal drop fobs from a garage sale fixture, but I am very happy with it as it is. It makes me smile every time I see it in the mirror, or from my tub, especially when I look up into the skylight from which it hangs. Again, truly ADORABLE!!
