Much nicer than expected! The canopy is a good size and will cover a standard hole. The cord looks like an old-fashioned cloth covered cord. The whole thing is sturdy. One reviewer said it was not matte black and looked cheap and silvery. Not at all true. I don't know what happened with that person's order, but the one I got is very nice and doesn't look cheap at all. It's matte black. Solid black. As for the cord not being straight, it is shipped coiled, so of course it's going to be a little bent in places. Just unbend it. It's wire. It's not going to look like a pole, but it's fine. I'm using it to hang a fixture that has some weight, so it will straighten out more over time. The cord is long enough to give you options, too. Very good buy and great price. I may purchase another one just to have it on hand in case I want to make another pendant light.
I love these vintage Edison chandeliers! We just finished remodeling our house with farmhouse/industrial style decor in the main living space. I went to the home improvement store and found some wire cage chandeliers, but they were over $100 each! I am very pleased with the look and quality of these fixtures! They are easy to trim to whatever length of wire you need. My husband installed several in one night.
I would definitely purchase them again!
