The one we put by the barn looks good; we have a second one to install further out in the yard, and will eventually get matching fixtures for the outdoor buildings. Have only had a few months, so hope the quality holds up through the weather, but so far so good.
One of the few brown posts we could find, only problem was that we had to drill a new hole for the electric wire, the original one was too low and ended up buried in the cement foundation.

This is a beautiful lamp post; I like the architectural bronze color ~ anything other than black or white is difficult to find! ~ and the gold-tone knobs on the cross bar lend an attractive touch. I have not installed it yet, but do not expect a problem.
