The lamp looks nothing like it is pictured, or described. It is described as "antique nickle," and looks shiny in the picture, but is more like plastic sprayed with silver paint -dull and grey, with no shine at all. It looks tacky, and feels like it weighs an ounce. It looks like something you would buy for five dollars at the dollar store, or something you would use to work under the hood of your car. Furthermore, I bought two used ones in "like new" condition, but one arrived with a deep dent in the top of the lamp the size of a fifty-cent piece, and it was stuck at a forty-five degree angle. I haven't received the other one yet, but can't use only one (not that I would want it anyway), so I am returning both. I can't believe I spent nearly ninety dollars for these, much less that they are being sold for nearly one-hundred dollars each new. I am sorely disappointed in Amazon for this one, and will be even more disappointed and shocked if I don't receive a full refund, including the cost of return shipping.

The lamp has a good look to it but the quality is questionable especially for the price. The finish has some minor nicks, the mounting plate is for an electical box not a surface (wall) mount installation and one of the nuts was not threaded properly. The most annoying thing was you can only use standard filament light bulbs because of the type of socket they used. The socket is to deep and CFL and/or LED bulbs will not fit.

When I addressed the abovewith the company, which took an couple of email for them to understand that I just wanted a nut to finish the installation, they ended up sending me a replacement lamp which had the same issues as the first one?

Very easy to install, it plugs into a standard electrical outlet as opposed to hard-wired. It fastens to a plate you attach to the walls with two screw anchors. So basically if you know how to put a couple anchors in a wall you can install this.

The metal appears to be bronze-plated zinc.

Hope that helps.
