There were some blemishes on the inside brass finish although once installed they were hard to see. A few spots on the top of the light and fittings were missed or blemished in the black paint. The tension relief was not great. I received two different kinds of tension relief clips, and one didn't fit over the wire. The instructions for installing the tension relief were not clear. I ended up buying small hose clamps instead to make adjustments easier in height and once you crimped the provided tension relief it was hard to reuse. Overall the install wasn't great, but once installed I will say the pendant lights look amazing and none of the blemishes I noticed installing them are noticable now.
