I just ordered and hung this chandelier. But I notice that the base plate is gray in color and not metal as it seems in the pic ( the bulbs are reflecting off it in the pic) which make it look dull and not much reflection happens. Is this how it is or...

Hi! There is a protective cover included that you probably still need to peel off to reveal the chrome plate My goal is to provide 5 star service, please let me know if there is anything else you need we will be more than happy to help you. Thank you!

We also did no use the directions, ended up using a similar chandelier we own to put this own together. Mine appeared to look the same as it did in the picture. Mine came with a broken "globe" and they sent me a new one over night.

No we hung it first and then we added the crystals. It is beautiful but the type of light bulbs it uses are not very bright.

The crystals on mine are clear. This is a beautiful chandelier. I used it for a bathroom renovation in my 1/2 bath downstairs and I get tons of compliments on it.

I just read the other response and have a comment. The lamp has "Bling" and that's what I needed in my room as an accent. It was perfect for what I was looking for. I would not consider it gaudy....just "blingy" and it works if used in the right space.

I'm a bit confused because it is indeed antique brass which is consistent with the picture. Antique brass is not brushed, but has a look similar to what brass looks like as it starts to oxidize. This plate has a faux finish antique brass which means a darkening is put over what was a shiny brass base. The parts where the 'brass' shows through is shiny (not brushed) but the whole effect is toned down. It is easy to find antique brass fixtures at a bib box hardware store if you want to look at an example.

i am not sure, but this was one of the hardest things to assemble, and many strings were already broken on arrival. they did not string any crystals like the other chandelier i bought on amazon from another dealer, and no lamps were included as they were in the other one..i had to go buy 9 halogen lamps...they did send me replacements for the broken stuff, but i didnt feel the quality was as good. it stll came out looking nice but after many hours of work and repair..if i am allowed i can give you the name of the other company that the chandelier was at least strung in baggies and included lamps and all attachments needed for the ceiling

Linda -- I've just added several images of this light that is currently hanging in our dining room. We love it! As other posters have said, it's got a frosted glass bottom. If you like the idea of how the light looks, I think you'll be very happy with the purchase. It's better in person than we expected based on the product listing. Anyway, I hope the images I posted were helpful (they should be available after Amazon's brief review / approval period).

Hello there! As a fellow poster M. Baird said, using your finger you firmly tap the silver base. NOT too hard, but firmly tap it. These lamps have 3 light settings which get brighter each time you tap the silver metal base of the lamp. I ordered this 2-lamp set, but one of the lamps was defective, so I had to send them back. But they were what I wanted. I will probably order them again at some point. These lamps give off great light. Better than I expected. Good Luck. I think you'll really love these small lamps which give off GREAT light!

There is no place to attach a picture here, and it is hard to describe in texts. If you look at the following link which is for another model. They have the same crystal. http://www.amazon.com/Candice-4-light-Chrome-Crystal-Chandelier/dp/B00Q8K6MGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427842313&sr=8-1&keywords=B125-XU-534+smarteam

I wondered the same thing, mine came to me as GRAY. I really like the gray actually. This light is amazing btw, you will not be disappointed.

Been some time since we put our chandelier up and threw box away. It was not all that big as the item is in pieces that were all shipped flat. It was small enough that it came by UPS but was also small enough that it could have came by U S mail, as I recall. Sorry probably not much help. We love the chandelier and have gotten several comments from visitors. It is big, very bright and looks great.

It looks ok. I was worried about that too but figured that if it looked weird, I would just use incandescent bulbs. It really looks okay. It takes a little while to get used to seeing the curly bulbs, period. The bulbs don't stick out beyond the globe. The soft white type of bulb makes the globe look kind of yellow. I like them much better with the bright light type of bulb.

Mine appear to be all crystals. They are sparkle and shine the same. This chandelier is absolutely gorgeous! You may want to have a dimmer switch added when it's on it very bright and sparkly. I bought another one from the same company that was not Swarovski and it's very dull compared to this one. I absolutely recommend this chandelier. You will be very happy with your purchase. I hope this helps you :)

Hi! The chandelier looks beautiful with or without the hearts. I'm sure when my daughter gets older she will want to take them off. We love this chandelier! I highly recommend putting in a dimmer switch too.

The base is large and is black plastic, not smooth but with a bit of a pebbled effect. I was planning to paint it using the marbleized paint but , as it turns out, the base is hidden behind an end table where we are using it. Everything else is chrome-colored. The lamp looks very nice for the price--much, much lower than similar lamps. A far as I knew, we could not choose a base color. Would have chosen chrome if I did have a choice.
