is the color of this lamp really bright, shiny, and chrome-like? or is it more of a brushed metal look? it

It's more shiny than brushed - but not obnoxiously shiny. But it is difficult to put together...mine is still rather loose; can't seem to get it tight so it doesn't lean.

This lamp is definitely taupe-colored. Over this, there is a"gold-ish" paint, making the shade champagne. Other parts of the lamp (mag. glass arm and clip arm and clamp mount) remain taupe. I have only used the clamp mounted n a shelf and have never used the desk or floor stands. Everything blends well together and it is a beautiful, very functional lamp.

It looks like regular chrome to me. I'm not sure what the "Starlight" means.

Yes the stainless is like brushed nickel minus the gold tint in brushed nickel, If you have brushed nickel faucets then the silver will go nicely. The chrome is nice as well, the quality is the same on both. And Yes chrome is shiny and brushed is well brushed! :) http://qualitytubandtile.com/?p=1739Purchased all finishes and probably my favorite is stainless.Enjoy,Jeff WoodingQuality Tub and Tile

It's nice and solid, and feels like metal to me (tho' I'm no metallurgy expert). I've been happy with the lamp.

your right Kuo.I too bought this lamp and agree the colors looked very different than the picture offered.As to why? I'm not sure.I wasn't happy with the quality either so I returned this item.

It looks just like the picture except that there's a little more detail. The metal is a wrought iron style. The color is dark brown, almost black with a slight brushed on/antique finish of bronze. The inside of the globe has dark brown dots in a sprinkled on pattern and a brush stroke pattern of a slightly lighter color of the globe that gives it an antique finish as well. I have six lights of four different styles in two hallways-each hall with its own foyer. I like them a lot.

Mine is shiny chrome finish. You may want to double check the size; I wasn't pleased how "square" it was, I thought it was going to be a rectangular shape.

Yes--I own the lamp and it is silver. And fabulous! I have it in my daughter's nursery.

It's not like brushed nickel. It's very shine, I love it! You're right - the picture looks more like brushed nickel but it's not.

The shade is more of a tan, but light and very neutral. It is really nice and the lamp puts out very pleasant light. It is bright enough but not overpowering.I am very happy with it.

It is a shinny chrome but not as shinny as a polished chrome typically found on faucets. it is not as dull as brushed chrome or nickel

I am not sure it is actually chrome but it is definitely a shiny "chrome-like" finish on them...

All the "metal" parts on this light are shiny chrome, like the bumpers on a new car. Definitely not brushed nickel. I had brushed nickel before my remodel, so I am familiar with it.

I think it is brushed nickel (has a slivery dual finish). All I know, it is a wonderful fixture, plenty of light and have received numerous compliments.

I just bought one for our Donut Shop. The exterior finish is a satiny brushed silver look, very close to a brushed stainless steel. Its not shiny like polished chrome, but it is shiny like brushed stainless steel.

It appears by weight and rigidity the lamp is constructed with metal. Also, you better want a very bright light, because that is what you get. I personally appreciate the brightness, but be for warned. I love my lamp.
