We were a little confused that you just have to flip the shade upside down from how it is packaged in the shipping. The chandelier is a manufactured antique brass so as long as you are expecting that for this price, it is a fabulous deal! It’s got a great blend of traditional or transitional look to it. The shades are a waxed fabric and feel a lot like a heavy duty paper. You will likely need to expect that. They are easy to replace if you want to ever change them out with a standard replacement shade with a metal framing.

Says fabric shade but it's pretty much paper...wasn't really impressed with quality of shades but overall a great price and size if you don't mind the material of shade. I'm sure once it's hung you wouldn't notice bc it looks really pretty in photos but just wasnt what I was looking for.

I’m really happy with this chandelier! The quality feels great for the price, it shipped quickly, and everything arrived well packaged. The pleated fabric shades looked a little strange to me straight out of the box, but once everything was assembled and installed, they looked beautiful and gave the fixture such an elevated, unique look.

I was impressed with this light fixture! Relatively easy to assemble. The arms took a minute to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, they’re relatively easy to assemble. The lampshades are simple to install, and the scale of the fixture is really nice. The gold is a nice brass, but not too artificial gold.

It’s beautiful! Such a great price. I wish it would come with lightbulbs. The shades were a little weird at first - like a plastic material - but I got used to it and you can’t really tell once it’s installed.
