I purchased this 3 light pendant understanding that you truely never know what something looks like from a picture, but you take a risk because of the price. I'd rate this a 4 as it is very fine quality and looks great overall. However, it looks great because the lights are "on" in the picture. The 3 white fixtures themselves are solid white when the light is off... the ribs that you see in the picture are only visible when the lights are on as the thickness of the porcelain changes and thus the light can't shine as brightly through the ribbed areas, and thus you see the stripes. Still looks great where I've placed it, and I'd recommend to others looking for a great buy!

I purchased this fixture to hang over my kitchen sink as part of a contemporary kitchen remodel. It offers a few great curves, is beautiful, and gives off a nice soft light.
