If you will be ordering the Raw finish please keep in mind the unfinished color of this item is raw metal and typically looks darker like a wrought iron finish with possible silver tints in the sunlight.

Small threads.
The ball part is beautiful but the threads are tiny and not very sharp. They could use a little more aggressive threads.
