It is a good 'dupe' however the quality difference is there. The gold is a deep color that looks rich and not like a cheap yellow gold. This takes a bulb with a chandelier base, though the globe is big enough to accommodate most any size bulb.
The bracket is a bit flimsy, but that just made it easier to modify to my particular mounting location. Easy to install and has 3 levels of brightness. Even on the lowest setting it's so bright that i will purchase a dimmer.
