From the feedback there seems to be some problems with the color--I need it to be an oil-rubbed bronze finish as described. Is it for sure?

The pair I received look identical to the picture. I was very happy. By reading the other reviews the color seems to be hit and miss. Good luck.

no it's not. I got spray paint and now they look better. you can get the spray paint from lowes.

No it's not a sure thing. There seems to be 2 different color schemes and I've gotten them both. One is the bronze that's pictured and the other is a dark silver with a reddish-bronze line on the edge. Side by side the differences are quite apparent.

sorry Gary- it is more of a gun metal grey with rust colored highlights in the stamped detail rings, def NOT oil rubbed bronze by any stretch of the imagination.

In my opinion the color is great. The metal base has an antique appearance and the glass fixture is creamy in color which goes well in older traditional settings.

Yes, I was under the impression it was a bronze finish, but it was not. It looked more like a grey plastic finish. Sorry. Thank you. Jinny

These really do have a problem with the color. The oil rubbed bronze finish really just looks dirty. . . like all the color just sort of went in the indented parts. I don't think you'll be impressed. I tried hard to like them, but they just weren't what I was hoping for.

More of a blackish bronze. Matches the current popular " oil rubbed" dark bronze look that's on faucets, towel bars, etc.

Hi, yes its a aged bronze, leaning on the very dark rust colour so from a distance it does look black or very dark brown..trust that helps!

it looks like a very dark or oil rubbed bronze...it tends to get dusty and so can look black but is a very dark bronze...I am very happy with it

It's almost like oil-rubbed bronze, very dark. There's not much copper highlight.

I would use a destressed/oiled bronze finish....I used this n my master bath w/ green leaf sink & oiled bronze fixtures n shower...it works well together. Hope this helped.

It is both to a certain extent. Different manufacturers have different ideas as to how it should be. Generally it is coffee colored glaze with a copper base showing through, but it varies. Try to stick with the same maker for a whole room if you can but it is pretty impossible. My bathroom with all oil rubbed bronze fixtures blends pretty well together. The darkness of the item also tends to mask differences in styles also.

They sent me cool bronze... I ordered this shade, I was pretty upset. It seems a bit darker to me. Not much

I bought the darker colour and yes it appears to be finished, but it is definately not the best finish. It's broken up into pieces, nothing solid. I think it's meant more to be in a corner.

yes, from afar it looks black. Up close the oil rubbed bronze is more visible. But overall it is BLACK.

I am also looking at these hot water dispensers and I believe the color "venetian bronze" is usually a very dark bronze, almost black. If that's the case then I would definitely go with the oil-rubbed bronze, NOT the "mocha bronze."

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your interest! It is limited to one year because it is an oil-rubbed bronze finish, which means it may change over time, depending on the maintenance. It peels off or fade if scratch. For further assistance, please feel free to contact us. We always look forward to serve you better. Best Regards, Sales Team

I think it is a bit darker, but still nice. It would not clash with a true oil rubbed bronze

I used his sink with oil rubbed bronze faucets. It is more brown than the fixtures and I like the way it looks, however if you want a "match" this isn't for you. I prefer things not to match perfectly for a organic look. I hope this helps you.

I ordered the bronze, it has an aged look to it, so some parts look matte and some are shiny. It is very attractive and I have even had a few compliments. Hope this helps.

Thought the same thing but took a chance. It is not streaky. It has a typical oil rubbed bronze finish.
