Is the ring base super obvious as it is in the photos? If so, guess I could paint out the base to match the carpet colour to downplay it.

Yeah it's kind of obvious but... the color of the base is black. I have hard wood floors so I just sat it on a smallish dark rug and that solved it.

If the room is small you can't see it but if its a large room you can see it. (Can only be seen from a certain distance away).

It is obvious. I have a chocolate brown and mine meshes better but I love the chair so much I got over the base. I would consider painting it if you go with a light color.

As I recall this is slightly off white and not as bright white as it appears in the photo. I painted over mine so didn't worry much about it.

The one I received is truly ivory in color. I would imagine it would be possible for the shade of carpeting to vary slightly depending on the batch or lot it is cut from.

yes you do, the base color either green like in the picture or camouflage it if you want to, but the decals of the name "Marines" and the other lettering on it come with the model, so it's not that hard to make it look the way you want it. when you get the model its in the dark green you see in the picture, but it has a shiny look to it, witch isn't realistic looking.

I agree that it's a reddish brown color and it has black paint splotches to give it a more rustic or antique look. The splotches aren't obvious when it's up on the ceiling, only when you see it up close.

Mine is on wood but I believe it would still roll out fine on the short shag carpet! It is closer to Ivory! I thought it was going to be bright white but pleasantly surprised when it wasn't!

It looks like it should be. There's nothing sticky or tacky - just kind of a black sort of light mesh with little bumps. Nothing like the nonskid backs of some rugs.

The pic shows the color pretty well. It's dark greenish, washed out with black...I guess it's kinda of like stone carving, but not really. Just look at the pic, it looks like that.

I wondered the same but, still not sure. I lean toward the base being resin though. It is heavy and looks nice. The part above the base seems to be metal. Be aware some of the leaves are light blue and they show as white in the photos. I read about this in one of the reviews before buying it. I was really going for the gold and green to accent my sofa. It is a light subtle blue.

It is bright red. VERY red. We actually just went to put this up yesterday. It was shining red into the house. The room it was shining into has greys and whites....the red was clashing. I am going to try and sell it. If you don't mind the red....go for it.

I only got the classic bronze so I can't compare. The classic bronze is quite dark however. But as another reviewer noted, the term "gunmetal gray" would not be inappropriate. It is a very dark gray, almost black, but it doesn't really have the warmth of tone you would expect from bronze. Others have also noted the red ring on the ceiling plate and that is also correct. If you stare up at the fixture from directly underneath, it is quite noticeable. But if you look from a more comfortable position across the room it looks like the highlight that was intended. I doubt that anyone other than the person who did the installation would notice! I only got the classic bronze so I can't compare. The classic bronze is quite dark however.

rings are plastic painted chrome, and the mesh is white (as far as I can tell.... maybe ivory?). It's definitely not the same color as the bottom portion.

It's pretty close in color. Might be just a tad darker in color. I bought it to match oak furniture that I all ready had.

Hi, Linda. Yes, the finish looks just like the photo. If anything, slightly darker if not lit well as in the photo, but I have to say that the photo does a great job of showing the customer what to expect.

We bought a rubbed bronze faucet and this set to compliment the faucet. If you are trying to match I don't think that this would be best but the contrast and the fact that it should match your faucet is a good thing. I Like my metals to match and was not trying to match it to the sink itself. some of the darker parts of the ring have rubbed off a bit since I purchased the product so it is showing a bit more bronze now which I am fine with but if you were looking for it to be black I don't know if this is the best idea.

I'd say the picture is pretty true to color. The finish definitely has a decent amount of red in it. That's not to say it would look bad with walnut stuff - but it will definitely look different.

IMO, the color is very close to picture, it does have reddish tones like a mahogany color.
